As elections are fast approaching, leaders representing Kapu community are under tremendous pressure from their community people to desert their respective political parties and join Praja Rajyam Party.
On Tuesday, former deputy speaker and senior Congress MLA from Krishna district Booragadda Vedavyas, who represents Kapu community, has announced that he would be joining PRP. Vedavyas, supposed to be a close confidant of Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, has been playing behind the screen role in PRP and already sent all his followers into that party. Now after getting an assurance from Chiranjeevi for a party ticket, he decided to take the jump.
So is the case with former minister and senior TD leader Kothapalli Subbarayudu from West Godavari district. Though he played active role in TD till recently and even participated in Chandrababu Naidu's road shows, Kothapalli is under pressure from his followers to join the PRP. On Tuesday, he skipped the TD Legislature Party meeting. He is likely to switch over to PRP in a day or two, sources said.
