Young But Street-Smart

Thanks to KCR, MLA's winning on one party ticket and then jumping to another party has become quite common.

Chandrababu Naidu who vociferously condemned KCR’s tactics in Telangana is actually implementing the same in AP.

Bhooma Nagi Reddy and his daughter, Akhila Priya have jumped to the TDP. Akhila Priya was elected as Allagadda MLA after the tragic death of her mother in a road accident.

Although she is a first-time MLA, she had no compunction in shifting loyalties to the TDP so early in her tenure.

The defections are especially shocking considering that the Bhuma family was known to be extremely loyal to the YS family.

While some believe that it was the victimization of the Bhuma family by the TDP that led to them joining the ruling party, others believe that it was the hope of a Ministerial berth for Akhila Priya which prompted the defections.

It might be the former reason or the latter or even both. But if Akhila jumped ship solely for a Ministerial berth then it proves that although she is young and a new comer to politics, she is by no means naïve and is in fact extremely street-smart.
