Once-bitten-twice-shy, former Congress MP from Vijayawada Lagadapati Rajagopal is unlikely to commission any survey for the forthcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh for both Lok Sabha and state assembly.

When media persons confronted Lagadapati at the camp office of Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu at Vundavalli in Amaravati on Friday morning, he refused to make any predictions on the federal front proposed by Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.

“I don’t want to comment on the federal front at this stage,” Lagadapati said and refused to answer further queries on it.

Apparently, he has decided against doing any other survey, because if his predictions go wrong, his image would further go down.

During the recent assembly elections in Telangana, Lagadapati predicted that the Maha Kootami of four opposition parties will come to power and the TRS would end up with 35-45 seats.

But the results proved him totally wrong as the TRS won 88 assembly seats out of 119 and decimated the Maha Kootami completely.

Sources said Lagadapati is planning to get back his glory by making a re-entry into politics by joining the TDP. It is learnt he is lobbying for Vijayawada Lok Sabha seat again.

For the record, Lagadapati met Naidu to give the invitation to attend a family function which is to be held on January 27.
