The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has opted not to field Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Srinivas, who revealed this decision through a social media post, is rumored to be considering a switch to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Srinivas stated that TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu directed him not to engage in party affairs. Following Naidu’s instructions, party representatives met with Srinivas to convey that someone else would be in charge of a public meeting, indicating a shift in the Vijayawada Lok Sabha candidacy. Srinivas, a two-term MP, assured compliance with the party’s directives.
