Andhra Pradesh BJP President Daggubati Purandeshwari aspires to become a Union Minister, but her ambition remains unfulfilled for now.
Speculation has arisen that TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu might be the reason why Purandeshwari did not secure the ministerial position.
There is talk that Naidu's interference led the top leadership of the BJP to overlook Purandeshwari.
Narsapuram MP Bhupathiraju Srinivas Varma from Andhra Pradesh has been given a berth in Modi's cabinet.
Srinivas Varma, who belongs to the Kshatriya community, has been with the BJP for a long time and has a reputation as a dedicated party leader. This is believed to be why he has been included in the central cabinet.
Purandeshwari strategically aimed to become a Union Minister this time. She contested and won from the Rajahmundry Lok Sabha seat.
To avoid obstacles, Sujana Chowdary was fielded as an MLA, preventing him from contending for the Union Minister position. Despite these efforts, Purandeshwari's expectations did not materialize.
It is said that Naidu advised the top BJP leaders that it would not be prudent to offer ministerial positions to MPs from the same Kamma community simultaneously.
Consequently, there is a rumor that Purandeshwari has been temporarily sidelined, with only TDP MP Pemmasani Chandrasekhar being given a place.
There was also speculation that Purandeshwari's name was being considered for the Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
Only time will tell what kind of priority will be given to Purandeshwari in the coming days.
