Political Consultancy Services by Ratan Baba
While YSRCP and TDP are busy with their strategies for the upcoming 2019 elections, it looks like Ratan Baba has opened political consultancy services to his followers. YSCRCP managed to bag a good number of seats in the 2014 Assembly elections from Prakasham district in Andhra Pradesh. But, soon in the game played by TDP on the political front, many YSRCP MLAs started hopping into the ruling government. This not only shocked YS Jagan but also affected the party’s strength in Prakasham district.
To counter this, YSRCP issued a lookout for ‘notable leaders’ in the region and managed to find Ex-Minister Maanugunta Mahidhar Reddy as a prospect. He was invited to join the party, and even Mahidhar Reddy did show akeen interest in joining YSRCP initially.
As the days passed by, it was learned that Mahidhar Reddy was making plans to join TDP, despite knowing it would hard to get a seat to content from Kandhukuru constituency.
After a brief enquiry, YSRCP came to know the real reason behind Mahidhar Reddy’s change of plans. Mahidhar Reddy is a devotee of Ratan Baba and sought Baba’s opinion before joining YSRCP, where he was assured of getting an MLA Ticket to contest from Kandhukuru constituency. But Ratan Baba advised Mahidhar Reddy to join TDP even though the chances of getting a ticket would be slim.
