SPY Reddy and family back in Naidu fold?

Politics in Andhra Pradesh have reached disgusting levels so much so that people are failing to understand which is leader is in which party.

Those who are in one party may surface in another party tomorrow and the same people might return to the original party the very next day.

A candidate who gets the MLA or MP ticket in one party suddenly appears in another party, after the completion of half of his campaigning in the constituency.

This is causing a lot of confusion among the voters. They are at their wits end as to whether they should vote for the candidate or the political party.

Look at the way sitting Nandyal MP S P Y Reddy, an industrialist-turned-politician.

He was originally with the Bharatiya Janata Party but later jumped to the Congress party to become MP twice. Before 2014 elections, he joined the YSR Congress party and got elected from Nandyal again.

Within a couple of days, he quit the YSRC and joined the Telugu Desam Party. Now in the ongoing parliament elections, TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu told him he could not give him the MP ticket from Nandyal again.

He waited till the last moment for the ticket and after failing to get the ticket, he switched over to Jana Sena Party headed by actor Pawan Kalyan.

With all good faith, Pawan gave him the MP ticket for Nandyal, MLA ticket for his daughter Aravinda Rani from Banganapalli and son-in-law Sridhar Reddy from Nandyal assembly seat.

Three of them have already started campaigning in their constituencies, but they have realised they cannot win their seats.

On Tuesday, when Naidu came to Nandyal to address a public rally, the SPY family sent him feelers and Naidu promised to take care of their political future.

He offered MLC seat to SPY and prominent posts to daughter and son-in-law and asked them to support the TDP in Nandyal.

Now, they are planning to withdraw from contest, quit the Jana Sena and return to the TDP fold!
