Political Migration Started

Telugu Desam MP Bhuma Nagireddy and his wife, Sobha, held discussions with their followers
at Allagadda and Nandyal on Friday, unveiling their intentions to quit the TDP.

The couple said that they had never been comfortable in the TDP, be it when the party was in power or in the opposition. “My supporters faced police action during the TDP rule. There would be no future for us and our followers in the TDP, Mr. Nagireddy is believed to have told the meeting which was out of bounds for the press at Allagadda as well as Nandyal.

The meeting was held in a godown at Allagadda, which was attended by some 5,000 supporters and in the house of his close aide, A.V. Subba Reddy, at Nandyal. Mr. Nagireddy and his wife did not formally announce their intention to join the political outfit of actor Chiranjeevi but the people gathered there raised slogans such as “Jai Chiranjeeva”. Mr. Nagireddy said he would formally resign from the TDP on Saturday and announce his future plans at Kurnool.
