Former Congress MP Lagadapati Rajagopal who has revealed that Prajakutami could win about 65 seats, TRS 35, BJP 7, MIM 7 and other seats will be taken by the independents. If his survey is to be believed, Gulte presents the leaders who could defect from the TRS into Congress or TDP.
Kadiyam Srihari – Formerly a senior and respected leader in TDP. He defected to TRS and has been minister in KCR’s cabinet. He has been unhappy when Station Ghanpur seat was given to T. Rajaiah. While there was revolt initially from his supporters and him, TRS leader KT Rama Rao pacified him. There were also rumours that he was mulling to join the Congress. So, if TRS doesn’t get majority this time, Kadiyam Srihari could defect to Congress.
Errabelli Dayakar Rao – Another TDP turncoat who has been visibly unhappy with the TRS High Command. He has been facing a tough competition for the Palakurthi constituency from TRS party general secretary Ravinder Rao, who openly revolted against Dayakar Rao and called him an “outsider.” Going by his discontent ever since he defected to TRS from the TDP, he could be another leader to quit TRS.
Teegala Krishna Reddy – Former Hyderabad Mayor who defected from TDP has upset party cadre after Maheshwaram seat was allotted to him by TRS High Command. However, he has been facing an internal opposition from his TRS colleague Kotha Manohar Reddy.
Gandra Satyanarayana Rao – He moved to TRS after he lost to Madhusuhana Chary in 2014 in Bhupalapally. However, when the seat was again allotted to Chary this time, Rao revolted against the TRS High Command stating that it lured him with the promise of giving him a seat this time.
Nallala Odelu – The TRS’ decision to nominate MP Balka Suman for Chennur Assembly seat has not gone down well with TRS rebel Odelu. Odelu’s supporter Gattaiah also set himself afire because Odelu wasn’t given a ticket. Gattaiah eventually succumbed.
Shashidhar Reddy and Chander Rao – Both candidates have been protesting Padmavathi Reddy’s candidature for Kodad Assembly segment. Shashidhar Reddy attempted to kill himself after not being given a ticket despite being a party loyalist. Chander Rao, who jumped ship, from TDP to TRS has also been another contender for the seat and has been disappointed with TRS High Command.
