Vijayawada corporator Kesineni Shwetha has brought to the forefront the precarious condition of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) through her candid observations. In a noteworthy resignation from her corporator post, Shwetha dismantles the prevailing illusion within both TDP and Janasena that their alliance would seamlessly ascend to power. Her remarks convey a stark reality – TDP’s strength is nothing more than a mirage, lacking substance.
One of Shwetha’s pivotal points revolves around the absence of genuine candidates in four crucial Lok Sabha constituencies. Rather than fortifying leadership in these regions, she questions the logic behind replacing sitting MP Kesineni Nani. The constituencies of Rajahmundry, Eluru, Guntur, and Narsaraopet, according to Shwetha, suffer from a void in TDP representation.
Highlighting Guntur MP Galla Jaydev’s detachment from party activities and his decision to abstain from upcoming elections, Shwetha emphasizes the need for a strategic reevaluation. She argues that abruptly replacing Kesineni Nani from Vijayawada not only exhibits disrespect but also raises eyebrows in terms of the party’s decision-making processes.
The astonishing revelation made by Shwetha underscores the TDP’s failure, despite its four-decade-long history, to cultivate formidable leaders willing to contest Lok Sabha elections. There seems to be a reliance on the anticipation that disenchanted leaders from the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) would defect to TDP for electoral battles, a sentiment exemplified by the situation in the Narasaraopet constituency.
Intriguingly, Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy suggested that Narsaraopet’s current MP, Lavu Srikrishna Deva Raya, contest from Guntur, a proposal declined by the MP. Reports hint at TDP leaders being in contact with Lavu Rattaiah, the MP’s father, to pull the entire family into the TDP fold. Similar circumstances are rumored to exist in the remaining three parliamentary seats, according to Shwetha.
The repercussions of Kesineni Shwetha’s outspoken remarks have sparked a debate, bringing into focus the deteriorating state of the TDP. As the party grapples with leadership crises and strategic uncertainties, Shwetha’s words serve as a wake-up call, urging a reevaluation of the party’s trajectory and a concerted effort to regain its political standing.
