Three YSRCP MLCs Join TDP in Setback
Imagine some politicians who used to be part of the YSRCP party.
They decided to switch to another party called TDP.
Three of these politicians, who were like special members of the government, made this change.
They said they were impressed by the leader of the TDP party.
One of them said it was a family tradition, and another mentioned not being able to do their job properly in the old party.
This kind of change has been happening more often recently with other people also leaving the old party after a big election.
Three YSRCP MLCs joined the TDP.
The switch took place in the presence of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
The MLCs who switched were Marri Rajasekhar, Balli Kalyana Chakravarthy, and Karri Padmasree.
They had previously resigned from their YSRCP posts.
Reasons included being inspired by Naidu's leadership, personal decisions, and feeling sidelined.
