Peddireddy was keen on Kukatpally
The entrance of Ms Suhasini has upset Mr Peddireddy's applecart.
Hyderabad: In a strategic move, Telugu Desam national president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has decided to bring Nandamuri Suhasini, the daughter of Nandamuri Harikrishna who died in a road accident recently, into politics, and to field her from the Kukatpally Assembly constituency.
The support of most of the Nandamuri family has given a boost to the TD and Mr Naidu.
The entrance of Ms Suhasini has upset Mr Peddireddy’s applecart. He wanted to contest from Kukatpally rather than from his home constituency of Husnabad in Karimnagar district and was even given the ticket.
Though he has to give way to Ms Suhasini, Mr Peddireddy is not taking his ouster lying down. He told this newspaper, “I want to contest from Kukatpally in this election. If the high command decides to field Suhasini, I will not contest from any other constituency.”
