Former minister and YCP leader Dharmana Prasada Rao, a senior figure in the Srikakulam district, appears to be maintaining a low profile.
Rumors suggest he is distancing himself from party activities. Since the party's defeat, Dharmana Prasada Rao has rarely been seen in public, leading many to believe he is becoming politically disillusioned.
At the same time, there is speculation that he may be strategizing his next steps with regard to his son's political future.
It is said that his son, Rammanohar Naidu, is considering his own political path, and it is believed that Rao is eager to secure a strong political platform for him.
Initially, Rammanohar Naidu was expected to contest as the YCP MLA candidate from Srikakulam in the 2024 elections.
However, due to pressure from the YCP leadership, Prasada Rao ended up contesting himself. Following his defeat, Rao appears to have reconsidered his approach.
There are also rumors that he may join the TDP to support his son's political ambitions.
His absence from the recently held YSR death anniversary celebrations has further fueled speculation about the accuracy of these rumors.
