Naidu's Fate Rests In The Hands Of Jagan

Amidst all the political developments in Andhra Pradesh about the three capitals issue, the Andhra Pradesh Roads and Buildings Minister Dharmana Krishna Das took on TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, claiming that he might lose his post as the leader of the opposition.

Krishna Das said this soon after TDP MLA from Guntur-West, Maddali Giridhara Rao, met with CM Jagan Mohan Reddy. And looking at the numbers and the state of affairs in Andhra, Krishna Das’s words do seem to be more than a political gimmick.

Meanwhile, it is known that TDP had lost the assembly elections held last year, and much favor went in the hands of Jagan Mohan Reddy. TDP ended up with just 23 seats in the 175-member house. The state elections were held simultaneously with Parliamentary elections, and Jagan Mohan Reddy swept most of the seats in both polls. Naidu's status as the leader of opposition literally depends on the loyalty of six MLAs.

According to experts, it all depends on how charitable Jagan is feeling. And considering how Naidu poached MLAs from YSRCP when he was in power just a few short months ago, all signs point to a Jagan who is looking for payback.
