Realisation seems to have dawned on Andhra Pradesh Tourism Minister Bhuma Akhila Priya that she has no other political alternative but to stay back in the Telugu Desam Party, if she wants to sustain her political future.
There have been reports in the recent past that Akhila had tried to send feelers to the YSR Congress party to make a return to that party, in the wake of suffocating situation prevailing in the TDP on account of her rival within the party A V Subba Reddy.
The local TDP leaders even went to the extent of alleging that she was recommending contracts of various works to the YSRC leaders including Katasani Rambhupal Reddy.
However, it appears there was no response from the YSRC leadership. On the other hand, TDP president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu adopted a patient approach, despite complaints from the party leader against her.
As a result, Akhila has started making efforts to prove her loyalty to the TDP. Though she did not take active part in the recently held Mahanadu, she is now conducting the Nava Nirmana Deeksha with all seriousness.
On this occasion, she told the media that she had no plans whatsoever to quit the TDP.
“The TDP has given me a new political life and made me a minister. I will contest the next assembly elections from Allagadda on TDP ticket only. I will win the seat and gift it to Naidu garu,” she said.
