TDP Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy is facing a tough time in his Sarvepalli assembly segment in Nellore district. One by one, his family members and followers are leaving him. Latest instance is his brother Somireddy Sudhakar Reddy who joined the YCP party. Sometime ago, his brother in law Ramakota Reddy joined Jagan party.

The political circles in Nellore district are full of rumours that this time also, Chandramohan Reddy will face a very difficult election in Sarvepalli segment. In 2014, he was defeated by YCP leader Kakani Govardhan Reddy. This time again, YCP is trying to gain an upper hand by winning over anti-Chandramohan Reddy groups within the TDP.

Observers say it’s not going to be an easy task for Chandramohan Reddy to overcome the problems created by his own brother leaving his side. Though Chandramohan Reddy lost 2014 poll, he was given MLC post and later ministry.
