In Vijayawada’s political arena, a familial challenge has emerged as sitting MP Kesineni Nani, formerly associated with the TDP, has now joined the YSRCP, while TDP is backing his younger brother Kesineni Chinni. In response, Kesineni Chinni (also known as Kesineni Sivanath) launched a verbal attack on his brother. Chinni disclosed that Kesineni Nani will be absent from public life for the next two months. He accused both Kesineni brothers of allegedly accepting money under the guise of offering TDP tickets, promising to reveal their identities soon.
Chinni claimed that Kesineni Nani switched allegiances out of fear that his purported irregularities would be exposed. Highlighting Jagan’s tendency to endorse individuals who criticize Chandrababu, only to later deny them tickets, Chinni noted that YSRCP has yet to announce its candidate for the Vijayawada MP seat. The upcoming announcement will determine the YSRCP candidate for the Vijayawada constituency.
