As TDP had to face a bitter defeat in the recent elections, several leaders of the party are considering that there is no more future for it in the state. If at all, YSRCP allowed the defections, most of the leaders of the opposition party by now, would have been in the ruling party itself.
But, Jagan’s decision to disallow the defections, saved TDP, which made several leaders to stay back in the party itself, with no option left. Even Devineni Avinash reportedly involved in a closed door meeting with the young CM and tried to convince him. But as the talks failed, he might have decided to stay back in TDP.
