Four Telugu Desam party Rajyasabha MPs - YS Chowdary, CM Ramesh, TG Venkatesh and Garikapati Mohan Rao today joined BJP, a move surprised all political pundits.
They passed a resolution to merge Legislature Party of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) into BJP and Vice-President of India Venkaiah Naidu agreed to this. This is similar to what TDP leaders did in Telangana.
While BJP is celebrating that Telugu Desam party is sinking and all its leaders are moving to their party but political observers feel that this is a strategy chalked out by Nara Chandrababu Naidu himself.
Sujana Chowdhary and CM Ramesh are facing serious charges of economical offenses. If they join BJP, the authorities will not move swift on these cases.
Poll: Is TDP finished in Andhra Pradesh?
There are also reports that the new Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy will file cases on CM Ramesh and other top Telugu Desam leaders in fraud and corruption cases. Since they have joined BJP, Jagan will not dare put cases on them.
This was the reason many of the TDP leaders who indulged in frauds are moving towards BJP which is in power at the center.
