Now that Sujana Chowdary’s Rajya Sabha term is drawing to a close, a heated debate is on about his future political moves. Will he stick to the BJP or will he go back to the TDP, with which his political and business career is inextricably linked? If the answers he gave in an interview to Andhra Jyothi’s chairperson Radhakrishna are any indication, he is all set to revert to the TDP.
He termed himself a well-wisher of Chandrababu and he said that he was finding the situation suffocating in the TDP. He said that the BJP leadership is taking too long a time to take any decision on Andhra Pradesh. He also pointed out that he had joined the BJP because of Arun Jaitley and now that he is no more, he would decide on his future course of action.
It is believed that Sujana Chowdary has joined the BJP to save himself from the ED action against his companies. Some sections also claim that he and CM Ramesh have joined the BJP at the express orders of Chandrababu Nadu. It was also claimed that they were planted in the BJP to influence its decision making on Andhra Pradesh.
However, Sujana’s term is coming to an end and there is no hope of his getting reelected to the Rajya Sabha. Neither is the BJP interested nor the TDP has the required numbers to send him to Rajya Sabha. Since, he has hit a dead-end, he is now planning to go back to Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP. Sources say that Sujana is likely to make a formal announcement once his term in Rajya Sabha expires.
