Vizianagaram Leader Majji Srinivasa Rao Leaves YSRCP to Join TDP
Majji Srinivasa Rao, Vizianagaram Zilla Parishad Chairman and former YSRCP district president, resigned from YSRCP citing personal reasons and joined the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) along with his daughter Siri Sahasra. The move, welcomed by TDP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, is seen as a significant political development ahead of Andhra Pradesh's upcoming local-body elections. Rao's departure follows reported differences with senior YSRCP leader Botcha Satyanarayana and may impact the party's grassroots strength in Vizianagaram district.
