Kadapa: The induction of Jammalamadugu MLA Ch Adinarayana Reddy into Cabinet, is likely to kick up a storm in the ruling party in the district.

it is to taken on the YSRCP on Jagan’s home turf Kadapa district, welcomed Adinarayana Reddy with open arms in spite of vociferous protests from Ramasubba Reddy’s group.But the inclusion of Adinarayana Reddy reopened the old wound, with Ramasubba Reddy’s followers mounting pressure on him to leave the party.
