Is Avanthi Srinivas joining the YSRCP?
The defections to the TDP have almost dried up. Now is the season of TDP leaders joining the YSRCP. With the reports coming in that the TDP might not make it this time around in 2019, more and more TDP leaders are now looking towards the YSRCP.
Several TDP leaders are said to be in touch with the YSRCP. Party MP and general secretary Vijay Sai Reddy also confirmed this.
According to media reports, TDP MP Avanthi Sriivas is holding talks with the YSRCP to join the party. He has of late been keeping a low profile and has stopped attending the TDP programmes. Meanwhile, some people in the YSRCP such as Bhimili YSRCP general secretary have been opposing this and have even taken to the Facebook to post comments against him. Avanthi Srinivas reportedly wants to to contest from Bhimili Assembly constituency. Significantly, the MP chose not to deny these rumours.
