Former MLA from Vijayawada and prominent Kapu leader Vangaveeti Radhakrishna must be cursing his own fate for resigning from the YSR Congress party in January this year.
Though YSRC president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had promised to take care of his interests and requested him to move to Machilipatnam for contesting the Lok Sabha elections, Vangaveeti got hurt and resigned from the party.
He approached the Telugu Desam Party for a ticket from Vijayawada (Central), but Naidu did not give him any such promise.
He, however, promised that Vangaveeti would be given the MLC ticket. In the assembly elections, Vangaveeti remained passive.
Now that the TDP lost the assembly elections miserably, Vangaveeti has realized that his future is very bleak if he continued in the TDP. So, he started looking for alternative options.
On Monday, Vangaveeti met Jana Sena Party president and actor Pawan Kalyan in Vijayawada and has expressed interest in joining the party.
Apparently, he felt that in the given circumstances, he has to have some political baggage. Since he cannot go back to the YSRC, he has chosen Jana Sena for his political survival.
But, the situation of Jana Sena is much worse than the TDP. The party fared miserably in the recent elections and Pawan Kalyan himself lost in two seats.
Many leaders of the party are also deserting it one after the other and there is virtually no activity for the party.
Under these circumstances, one wonders what Vangaveeti will do in Jana Sena. May be he thought he could activate the party and strengthen it by next elections.
Let us wait and see.
