Sources say that he is unable to stay in Congress with bifurcation of AP going on at a jet speed by Congress leadership and at the same time he is unable to muster strength along with Kiran to launch a party.

It is being said that he has started looking towards TDP for the first time but there are many challenges due to the party’s internal political equations in Vijayawada. However it is also being said that Naidu may not finally say no if a rich politician with vast business interests wants to enter TDP.

But he faced the bitter experience of Lagadapati trying to block his padayaathra in Vijayawada few months ago and this coupled with his maverick mentality is making Naidu skeptical about accepting him! Still, Lagadapati joining hands with Naidu will be a deadly combination.
