Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy has inadvertently caused a stir in Andhra Pradesh politics with a recent social media post. The post, on platform X, compares current Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu favorably with YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the predecessors of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) respectively. This has sparked speculation of a wider political strategy behind the statement.
The post contrasts Naidu's alleged vision, sacrifice, and development of the state with Jagan's focus on personal power. It praises Naidu for his global recognition of Telugu pride. Sridhar Reddy, who switched from the YSRCP to the TDP ahead of the last legislative elections, has been vocal in his criticism of Jagan Reddy ever since his departure from the party. This post is his most direct and public endorsement of Naidu yet.
The real significance of the post lies in Sridhar Reddy's apparent attempt to strengthen his position within the TDP and to suggest that he is eying a ministerial position. It remains to be seen whether this online buzz will translate into political gains for the legislator, or whether it might backfire amidst potential intra-party politics.
Whatever the outcome, social media is proving to be an increasingly relevant space for political maneuvering in Andhra Pradesh, with public figures and politicians using it to make statements that capture wider audiences.
