Well, the news is official now. As we had been specualting for the past few days, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu has decided not to contest in the coming Telangana elections.
Kasani Gnangeswhar, the T-TDP wing chief met with Chandrababu Naidu in prison earlier and discussed the prospect of contesting in the election.
Incidentally, Naidu had advised his troops to stay away from the coming election campaign in Telangana. He has added that in view of the current circumstances in AP, contesting in Telangana polls doesn’t make much sense as it would be tough for him to lead the party while he is locked up in prison.
Naidu added that the decision should be effectively conveyed to the party local leaderships. Will this decision mean that the local leaders in the party move to other parties to have a go in the coming elections? We shall wait and see.
