Tensions Rise as Second-Run Leaders Vie for TDP District President Post
Nellore is abuzz with excitement as the race for the coveted TDP district president post intensifies. Historically, this position has been held by leaders from marginalized communities, with the previous two terms unanimously awarded to party senior leader and Nellore Parliament incharge Sheik Abdul Aziz, a member of a backward class. However, with the party's recent electoral success in all 10 assembly segments and the Nellore MP seat, several ambitious second-run leaders are now vying for the prestigious post.
Several prominent leaders are thrown in the ring, including State Waklf Board Chairman Shiek Abdul Aziz, who currently holds the position and is expected to defend his title. Also in the running are TDP Nellore rural incharge Kotamreddy Giridhar Reddy, brother to Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, both hoping to leverage their familial ties and constituency. Additionally, Chejerla Venkateswara Reddy, Pellakuru Srinivasulu Reddy, Vemireddy Pattabhirami Reddy, and former ZP Chairman Chenchalababu Yadav are among the prominent names in the running.
Interestingly, there is a growing demand for a candidate from the Reddy community, as reflected by the powerful lobby of Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakara Reddy and Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, both eager to be considered for the post. As the competition intensifies, the TDP high command has deemed it necessary to send a three-member committee comprising Revenue Minister Anagani Satya Prasad, Chandragiri MLA Pulivarthi Nani, and Arya Vysya Corporation Chairman D Prasad to Nellore to collect opinions from party cadres at the constituency level. The committee entertained submissions from aspiring candidates during a general body meeting, collecting insights from party functionaries to inform the final decision.
This unexpected development has left many speculating about who the final nominee will be. With so many powerful figures vying for the position, the selection process is expected to be rigorous and closely watched.
