Kesineni has started extorting the party leadership once more as speculation of early elections for the state assembly spreads throughout the state. He believes Naidu is actively supporting his rivals inside the party in order to harm his prospects of winning the upcoming elections. Kesineni made some intriguing remarks on saturday that seemed to be directed at the tdp leadership.
"If your adversary is my friend, then vice versa. I will support your adversary if you support mine. Keep in mind that the distance between my home and your home is the same as the distance between your home and mine, he said. He continued by saying that he wasn't a member of any certain group. I get along with everyone, even the ysr congress party officials, he declared. It's interesting to note that Kesineni made these remarks following his meeting with Naidu to go over the party's position on the presidential elections.
