Telugu Desam Party leader and former MLA Shilpa Mohan Reddy, who has been creating headache for party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu over the party ticket for Nandyal assembly by-elections, is feeling humiliated.
For the last few hours, there have been rumours that Income Tax authorities had conducted raids on the house of Shilpa Mohan Reddy and seized huge amount of unaccounted wealth.
The media persons started running from pillar to post to get the rumours confirmed. Finally, it was revealed that there was no truth in these reports.
However, Shilpa has not taken these rumours easy. He felt humiliated and terribly upset.
“There is absolutely no truth in these reports. It is very clear that some of the leaders from my own party are spreading these canards to stall my contest from Nandyal assembly seat in the next by-elections,” he said, without referring to the names of Bhuma family members with whom he has political rivalries in Kurnool district.
Apparently, Shilpa is getting suffocated in the TDP with the group rivalries and inept handling of the party affairs by Naidu. May be, he is thinking it is safer to contest the Nandyal bypolls on the YSR Congress party ticket, instead of the TDP.
