Vijayawada MP, Kesineni Srinivas, has now become a tough challenge for the TDP leadership.
The two-time MP is consistently targeting the party leadership and making strong comments against both local leaders and the top leadership.
He is also getting closer to the ruling party MLAs in his Parliamentary constituency and even praising their work in development projects.
He shared the stage with ruling party MLAs Modithoka Jagan Mohan Rao and Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad, both from the NTR district.
He is upset with the party leadership for promoting his brother Kesineni Sivanadh over him in the constituency.
He is angry with the party leadership for not reining in his critics, Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, Bonda Umamaheswara Rao, and Buddha Venkanna, who continue to criticize him even now.
He skipped the party's Mahanadu program, stating that he was not invited, but went to Delhi, opened the old parliament building, and celebrated the birth centenary of late NTR.
He accompanied party chief N Chandrababu Naidu to Delhi from Hyderabad on the party chief's invitation.
He also carries out party work in his constituency, keeps the party flag with him, and never appears as an anti-party leader.
Despite all his activities that demonstrate his loyalty to the TDP, his remarks make him appear as an anti-party leader.
Thus, he has become a tough challenge for the party leadership. It remains to be seen how the party will respond to his criticisms and how Kesineni himself will position himself in the days to come.
