Chandrababu Naidu has a distinctive style when it comes to party leadership. He scrutinizes party leaders from all angles and is known for rewarding those who show loyalty, while swiftly sidelining those who fall short. He has been known to elevate leaders from the grassroots level and turn them into stars, but if there’s any discrepancy or difference, he wastes no time in distancing them from the party. Today, during his tour of Nandigama, he ignored Tiruvuru MLA Kolikipudi Srinivasa Rao, Why? Here is the back story.
On Saturday, CM Chandrababu Naidu toured NTR district and greeted party leaders after landing from a helicopter. MPs and MLAs welcomed him with flowers. In this sequence, Tiruvuru MLA Kolikipudi Srinivasa Rao was also present. But, from many months, there were complaints about Kolikipudi’s behavior, alleging that he was tarnishing the party and government’s image. As a result, Chandrababu appeared serious about the situation.
While interacting with the leaders, Chandrababu Naidu remained silent when it came to Kolikipudi. He even ignored him, signaling his disapproval. Instead, he called forward the person behind Kolikipudi, received the flowers from them, and seriously observed Kolikipudi. Realizing the situation, Kolikipudi had no choice but to step back and remain silent. With the leader sidelining him, other leaders also pushed Kolikipudi further away.
This development has come as a significant shock to Kolikipudi, and TDP leaders are commenting that he should now realize his position and understand that only by remaining humble will he have a future in politics. Meanwhile, former minister Devineni Uma, who lost his ticket in the last elections, also met with Chandrababu recently and greeted him.
