Following mp Pilli Subhash Chandrabose's ultimatum to the party top command, the situation in Konaseema YSRCP appears to have grown heated and unstable. In the event that minister Chelluboina venu Gopalakrishna receives the YSRCP ticket, he has said that he will run as an Independent from Ramachandrapuram.

The impact of Bose's declaration has been enhanced by both his commitment to the late ysr and his solid community roots. There are rumours that Bose's fellow rural mla kurasala kannababu may follow him out of the YSRCP. Bose and kannababu are good friends, and it has been said that kannababu and kakinada City mla Dwarampudi chandrasekhar reddy have been at odds for some time.

Rumours of his possibly quitting the party have been stoked by his recent absence from party activities. Another individual who is rumoured to be considering quitting the YSRCP shortly is minister Pinipe Vishwaroop. After the violence in Amalapuram a year ago, the party's reputation was damaged. The region's Kapu community has a lot of power, and the constituency is reserved. According to rumours, Vishwaroop may join the Jana Sena and run from Amalapuram in the upcoming elections.

There are worries that if mp Bose decides to leave the party, it might set off a chain reaction, with other YSRCP members perhaps following him to Konaseema. The party's prospects and regional stability may suffer as a result of internal strife and prospective defections.
