According to reliable sources, Gudivada MLA Kodali Nani is all set to bid goodbye to Telugu Desam Party. Though he didn't announce his decision as yet, his close associates say that it is almost decided that he would resign from the party and also from assembly on 9 or 18th of this month and would join YSR Congress Party along with his followers. Media reports say that Nani will meet Jagan Mohan Reddy tomorrow (8 July 2021) in Chanchalguda and formally announce his decision. Incidentally, tomorrow happens to be late YS Rajasekhar Reddy's 63rd Jayanthi.

Hectic parlays have been going on at Hyderabad for the past one week in this direction. Kodali Nani's close associates have been in constant touch with YSRCP president Jagan Mohan Reddy, who is currently in Chanchalguda jail facing CBI charges of disproportionate aseets. According to sources, Jagan asked Nani to resign from both TDP and also from assembly. But Nani was reluctant to vacate his seat as he will have to face elections twice, immediate bypoll and later in 2014. That was the reason for Nani dilly-dallying all these days, say the sources. Now it is said that Nani got a pucca assurance from Jagan that the later would not only make him YSRCP candidate for both the elections, but also will take care of the entire expenditure. This has finally made Nani to decide leaving TDP and join YSRCP. Owner of a Hyderabad based corporate educational institution has played a crucial role in negotiating between Jagan and Nani, told the sources.
