Hyderabad: Telugu Desam suspended MLA Kodali Srivenkateswara Rao alias Nani from the party after he met YSR Congress honorary president and Jagan Mohan's mother Vijayamma in Hyderabad today.
"Nani has been suspended from the party with immediate effect," a one-line statement from TDP said minutes after his meeting with Vijayamma.
The MLA later went to Chanchalguda prison to meet YSRC president and Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, jailed in a disproportionate assets case. Former MLA V Radhakrishna accompanied Nani.
Nani joining YSRC is now a mere formality, sources said.
Nani was elected to Andhra Pradesh Assembly in 2004 and 2009 from Gudivada in Krishna district. He is close to film star N T R Junior, and has been a loyalist of Rajya Sabha member Nandamuri Harikrishna.
At least a couple of other MLAs from TDP in Krishna district are expected to follow in the footsteps of Nani. The TDP leadership has initiated steps to placate disgruntled MLAs and prevent their exit, sources said.
