Former Telangana minister Mothkupalli Narasimhulu, who has been expelled from the Telugu Desam Party on disciplinary grounds a couple of months ago, seems to have finally found a platform to sustain his political career.
Mothkupalli is expected to meet Jana Sena Party chief and actor Pawan Kalyan later on Thursday and is all set to join the party.
The Jana Sena chief has agreed to accommodate him in the party. Since Mothkupalli is still a powerful voice in Telangana politics, Pawan might appoint him as the party chief in Telangana.
Ever since he was out of the TDP, Mothkupalli has virtually no takers in any party. He sent a lot of feelers to Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
He also lavished praises on TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and even advocated that Telagnana TDP should be merged with the TRS.
However, KCR has not evinced any interest in admitting Mothkupalli for the simple reason that the latter does not have money and muscle power and his entry will not help the TRS much in Alair.
Though he also attracted the attention of YSR Congress party by attacking TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu with choicest abuses, he did not get any invitation from YSRC as well, for the simple reason that YSRC doesn’t have any stakes in Telangana and his abuses on Naidu will not fetch any benefits to YSRC in Andhra.
So, the only option Mothkupalli had was to approach Jana Sena Party. Though it is also confined to Andhra, Pawan wants to have its branch in Telangana as well.
Hitherto, Pawan did not have a leader of some political stature in Telangana, while Mothkupalli also needs a platform to continue in politics.
Therefore, the former minister is said to be perfectly fitting Pawan’s requirements, say party sources.
