After the BJP refused to allot party ticket to rebel YSRCP MP K Raghu Rama Krishna Raju for the Narasapuram Lok Sabha seat it was up to Naidu to accommodate him at Undi Assembly seat.
Following its alliance with BJP and Jana Sena, Chandrababu Naidu’s party is contesting from 17 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh.
Raju is expected to contest on TDP-Jana Sena ticket this time. Till date four YSRCP MPs have quit the party.
He is likely to head for TDP and so is another MP Lavu Srikrishna Devarayalu of Narasaraopet who was asked to contest the Guntur seat by the YSRCP.
The MLA said he had decided to return to the party as various parties are coming together to defeat YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as they had done against YS Rajasekhara Reddy in 2009.
