Rayalaseema Parirakshana Samithi (RPS) president Byreddy Rajasekhar Reddy stated that he would like to join TDP, if its president Chandrababu Naidu agrees. Speaking to media at Kurnool, he said “I feel very much related with TDP. I am ready to join it for the development of our Rayalaseema region. I will meet CM Chandrababu Naidu and also Prime Minister Narendra Modi and appeal them to develop our backward Rayalaseema region.”

Actually, he strongly criticized Chandrababu Naidu, Kiran Kumar Reddy and Jagan Mohan Reddy, who hail from Rayalaseema but ignore their region. Byreddy also plans to field his RPS candidates in the general elections, but he struck with a murder case and went underground for many days. Perhaps, he might have realized it is wise to take political asylum in the ruling TDP instead of struggling without any hope.
