The ‘Vastunna Meekosam padayatra’ of Telugu Desam Party President N. Chandrababu Naidu has changed the equations in the party. It marred the bright prospects of few leaders, and new faces have cropped up. The padayatra also compelled different power centres in the party to align themselves to thwart the attempts of new entrants to grab a party ticket for 2014 elections. With Kesineni Srinivas (Nani), a lateral entrant into the party, emerging almost successful contender for Vijayawada MP seat the fate of TDP Urban president Vallabhaneni Vamsi hangs in balance. Former MP Gadde Rammohan Rao and Lingamaneni Ramesh are two other names that were in wide circulation in party circles before Mr. Naidu reached Krishna district. The party leadership zeroed in on Mr. Nani, party sources say, at a time it was searching for a candidate who can shoulder the expenses etc. involved in the padayatra as well and not just election expenses.
