If the speculations doing rounds in the Telugu Desam Party circles are to be believed, former Congress MP from Anakapalli Sabbam Hari is most likely to be the party candidate for Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation Mayor post.
According to these reports, the TDP leadership is in serious negotiations with Sabbam to rope him into the party, so that he would be projected as party’s Mayoral candidate. The discussions are likely to materialise after the return of chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, sources said.
Sabbam has been in a virtual political oblivion after his defeat in the last Lok Sabha elections from Visakhapatnam. In fact, he was closely associated with YSR Congress party before 2014 elections, but somehow, things did not work out for him with party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who kept him at bay. Later, he remained silent.
However, he still holds a lot of respect in Visakhapatnam because he had served as its mayor in the past. The TDP leadership is of the view that he would be of much help to the party. Hence, it wants Sabbam to join the TDP.
