Andhra Jyothy managing director Vemuri Radhakrishna has sounded a warning signal for the Telugu Desam Party, stating that the party is going to be wiped out after 2014, if it does not come to power in the next elections or at least stand in the second position.
Known for his pro-TDP stand, Radhakrishna in his weekly column on Saturday blamed it on the intense power struggle going on in the N T Rama Rao family for holding the party reins. He found fault with Naidu for trying to promote his son Lokesh Naidu as his heir apparent and NTR’s sons – Harikrishna and Balakrishna for trying to take control of the party without understanding the ground realities. He was very critical of Balakrishna’s demand for a working president post in the TDP, unmindful of the fact that the people are yet to repose their faith in the party.
The column pointed out how YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has been systematically hitting the TDP below the belt by launching “Operation Kamma,” attracting the Kamma sections towards his party. The TDP has already lost the support of weaker sections and it is hard to woo them back to the party. “Instead of concentrating on who should take over the party – Balakrishna or Junior NTR or Lokesh Naidu, the NTR family should strive to get back their lost credibility. Unless it gets into No. 1 or No. 2 positions in the state, the party will disappear from the state political spectrum,” he warned.
