Only four MPs make up the telugu Desam party, the major opposition group in Andhra Pradesh, which is led by the former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. These four include three members of the lok sabha and one of the Rajya Sabha. Only one of the three lok sabha members, Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu of Srikakulam, is moderately involved in the party; in contrast, industrialist and guntur MP galla jayadev has been avoiding party activities for a while, and vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas, also known as nani, has always been a displeased individual.

Even though it seems that nani and Naidu have reconciled recently, he is the party candidate with the greatest degree of uncertainty. On the other hand, Galla has become silent following the purported witch-hunt against his Amara raja Group of industries by the jagan Mohan reddy government. Regarding Kanakamedala, an industrialist who is now a rajya sabha member, ravindra Kumar has been very active in the party and seems to be Naidu's closest confidant. Three of these four MPs are said to have opted to leave the party and join the bharatiya janata party, according to rumour in Delhi's political circles. They are reportedly dissatisfied with Naidu's management style and Lokesh's control over the party.

Surprisingly, two of these defecting MPs are K Rammohan Naidu and Kanakamedala, who are regarded as the tdp leader's faithful lieutenants. galla jayadev, who has no choice but to defect if he wants to protect his business empire, is the third MP. They reportedly saw amit shah in chennai and another Union minister, Bhupender Yadav, in delhi before deciding to join the saffron party, according to the media. One of these tdp MPs reportedly received letters from the Enforcement Directorate, a tool used by the bjp national leadership to coerce its political adversaries. Following this development, the tdp MPs will meet with bjp ministers, according to reports.
