The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Kadapa sees a potential shift in its favor with the recent migration of influential Muslim minority leaders into its fold. With the Muslim vote bank holding significant influence in the constituency since 1994, this development could sway the political balance. The induction of leaders like Mohd. Feroz, Lion Mansoor Khan, and Afsar Khan, formerly aligned with the YSR Congress Party, have bolstered TDP’s grassroots support.
The appointment of R. Madhavi Reddy as the new district convener signals a strategic move to consolidate non-Muslim support. As the political landscape evolves, the efforts to woo the minority community may redefine electoral dynamics in Kadapa.
