In the series of floating TDP leaders into YSRCP and other parties, next would be the KE brothers.
Devineni Avinash and Vallabhaneni Vamsi’s exit from TDP, within a short time, has shocked the political circles, raising doubts on the existence of the Cycle party in Andhra Pradesh. Now extending the same fear, another set of prominent leaders KE brothers are set to leave the party soon.
One among the brothers, KE Krishnamurthy had served as Deputy Chief Minister and also withheld Revenue, Stamps and Registration portfolios in TDP’s regime. Even his brother KE Prathap served as an MLC and also withheld the post of the Irrigation Department Corporation (IDC) in the past. But reportedly, both the brothers are planning to shift their loyalties towards YSRCP now.

The sources reveal that the duo would join in the ruling party on the 29th of this month in the presence of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The entry of KE brothers is expected to increase the vote bank of YSRCP among the BC voters. It would in turn be a mega jolt to TDP, which is already facing tough time with the series of leaders floating out of the party.
