Then, according to reports, chandrababu naidu asked Kesineni Srinivas, the mp for Vijayawada, to use his connections in delhi to secure Murmu's appointment in Vijayawada. Kesineni, who is angry with chandrababu naidu, was reluctant to accept the task. Naidu had to agree to his demands, which included a number of stipulations.
