More trouble seems to be in the offing for the embattled Telugu Desam Party as two of its MLAs are likely to cross over to Chiranjeevi’s camp in the next few days.

The MLAs - Ch Ayyanna Patrudu (Narsipatnam) and G Srinivasa Rao (Chodavaram) - who are on the party’s watch list, skipped the first day of the monsoon session of the Assembly.

Rumours have been doing the rounds in the political circles for the last few days that the two MLAs will join Chiranjeevi’s party.

They are likely to attend Chiru’s meeting at Tirupati on Tuesday.

Ayyanna Patrudu has had strained relations with party chief N Chandrababu Naidu for over a year after he levelled serious allegations against the party during Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) elections.

Patrudu, who belongs to the BC community, alleged that tickets for GVMC polls were sold by a group of leaders and in the process, BCs were meted out a raw deal.

Stung by this, Naidu constituted a committee to look into his allegations.

Naidu also contemplated to suspend Ayyanna Patrudu from the party but changed his mind as other seniors suggested that such a move would send wrong signals to the BCs.

Though Chodavaram MLA Srinivasa Rao had no problem with party, he has reportedly decided to quit the party foreseeing a brighter future in Chiranjeevi’s party. Srinivasa Rao also belongs BC community.
