Gudivada MLA Kodali Nani, who was recently suspended from the TDP, today announced that he would contest in the 2014 elections as the YSR Congress candidate.
Nani announced this decision at a public meeting in the SC colony of Angaluru village under Gudlavallerlu mandal of Krishna district on Sunday. He said that he had plunged into politics to fulfill the ideals of late N T Rama Rao and was elected to the Assembly twice.
He said that he had to take the decision to leave the party as he could not do anything to the constituency, as the TDP had not come to power.
Stating that the TDP has no future as people were no longer trusting party Chief Chandrababu Naidu, he predicted that the YSR Congress chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy would become chief minister in 2014. He said that he would develop Gudivada then with Rs 250 crores. He also said that he had left the TDP, which was like mother to him, to redeem the debt of the area where he was born.
It may be recalled that Nani was suspended from the TDP after he met Jaganmohan Reddy and his mother Vijayamma recently. After that, Nani also defied the TDP’s decision to abstain from the Presidential election and voted for Pranab Mukherjee, sailing with the YSR Congress.
