The migration of YSRCP cadre into TDP continues at a rapid pace. After the crushing defeat of YSRCP in the general elections, several party leaders have begun resigning.
Many of Jagan's close associates have already joined TDP.
This shift is not limited to a few constituencies. Jagan has now faced a major setback even in Pulivendula, considered his stronghold. TDP has started making inroads into areas long dominated by Jagan's family.
In the latest jolt, a close follower of Jagan from Pulivendula has joined TDP. The development has drawn attention within political circles due to its symbolic significance.
A few days ago, several YSRCP local leaders switched sides to TDP. Now, Jagan's close follower and Vempally leader Chandrasekhar Reddy alias Dil Maange has formally joined the party. Hundreds of YSRCP cadre also joined TDP along with him.
The leaders joined TDP in the presence of BTech Ravi. Chandrasekhar Reddy and YSRCP cadre organised a massive rally in Vempally before entering the party.
TDP politburo member Srinivasulu Reddy and other local TDP leaders attended the event. The joining is being seen as another boost for TDP in the Pulivendula region.
