High drama in Andhra politics

The last 24 hours have witnessed a rapid change in the political equations in the state.
At a time when Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was confident that majority of the party MLAs hitherto supporting YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy are back in the Congress party and would support his government in the no-confidence motion, they gave him a rude shock by attending Jagan’s meeting and declaring that they would support the no-confidence motion.
And when he thought the MLAs from Praja Rajyam Party would also support his government, they, too, gave the Chief Minister a rude shock by expressing their resentment against him for ignoring them all these days and virtually blackmailing him that his survival depends on their support.
And the Telugu Desam Party which was struggling to keep its flock together received a pleasant surprise. Three rebel MLAs – K Hareeshwar Reddy, S Venugopala Chary and Y Balanagi Reddy, who were suspended from the party for revolting against party president N Chandrababu Naidu, expressed their willingness to come back into the party. And Naidu, who discussed it with his senior party leaders, gave them a green signal.
The only TDP rebel left out now is Nagam Janardhan Reddy, who not only lost his MLA seat, but also became a loner; as two others Jogu Ramanna and Gampa Goverdhan joined the Telangana Rashtra Samithi got their political future secure. It remains to be seen whether Nagam also will come back to the TDP or not.
