Member of Parliament from Narsapuram K. Raghu Ramakrishna Raju, who had been a thorn in the flesh for the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) for over four years, was crestfallen the other day as a chance to contest in the general elections on behalf of one of the opposition parties appeared to elude him.
But, he might finally get the opportunity to fight against the YSRCP as a TDP candidate from Undi Assembly constituency in West Godavari district, where the YSRCP is fielding P.V.L. Narasimha Raju, a leader from the same community (Kshatriya) as Mr. Ramakrishna Raju’s.
The MP ended what he called his unsavoury association with the YSRCP in February, but has not joined any party till date.
