Former minister Seedari Appalaraju from Srikakulam district has unexpectedly gone silent.
Known for his proactive nature and sharp criticism of the coalition government, his sudden withdrawal from public discourse has sparked debate within the YSRCP. Reports suggest that even party leaders are finding him inaccessible.
A doctor-turned-politician, Seedari previously clashed with sitting MLA and TDP leader Gauthu Sirisha in Palasa. However, he now appears to have stepped away from the political spotlight.
Within the YSRCP, two strong factions are active in Palasa—one of which opposes Seedari and is vying to take over the constituency in-charge responsibilities.
Some party members reportedly feel neglected by him during his tenure as a minister, further fueling the internal divide.
Seedari was expected to bridge the gap between the two factions, but his sudden withdrawal has led to widespread speculation.
His absence has become a hot topic in political circles, especially given his previously strong ties with the YSRCP leadership.
Many within the party hope he will regain his assertiveness, but questions remain.
Is Seedari deliberately distancing himself from factional conflicts within the party, or is he maintaining a strategic silence under pressure from the ruling government? The debates continue.
