Ravela Kishore Babu, former minister in TDP government and janasena leader resigned to janasena party today citing personal reasons. His decision of resigning to the party came immediately after his rival in the constituency Mekapati Sucharitha becoming home minister for the state of Andhra Pradesh. As per the latest reports, he came in touch with BJP leaders through another BJP leader from Guntur district.
Most of the leaders in Andhra Pradesh are coming in touch with BJP bigwigs, so as to avoid any sort of harassment or vengeance from their rivals in ruling YSRCP. Recently there was news about JC brothers joining BJP soon. Many other leaders from TDP and janasena also are looking towards BJP now as they are of the opinion that only BJP can save them at this moment as Jagan and other YSRCP leaders cannot dare to rub on the wrong side with BJP. It looks like these leaders are considering BJP party as a safe shelter for them from their rivals in YSRCP, who have the strength of government now.
Ravela Kishore Babu seems to be following similar path. We will have to wait and see if YSRCP leaders will fight their political rivals even after they join BJP.
