Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the conduct of Tiruvuru MLA Kolikapudi Srinivas. Concerned over the controversies surrounding the legislator, Naidu discussed the matter with senior party leaders.
TDP state president Palla Srinivasa Rao, MP Kesineni Chinni, and district president Raghuram briefed Naidu on the prevailing situation in Tiruvuru. The Chief Minister reportedly questioned why such issues were emerging only in Tiruvuru while other regions remained unaffected. Expressing his displeasure, he emphasized the need for party leaders to work in alignment with the sentiments of the cadre.
Amid the growing unrest, TDP workers from Tiruvuru staged a protest at the party’s central office in Mangalagiri, raising slogans against Kolikapudi Srinivas, including “Kolikapudi Down Down” and “Tiruvuru Doesn’t Need Kolikapudi.”
State president Palla Srinivasa Rao intervened, urging party workers to maintain calm and held discussions with Tiruvuru’s key leaders. He reiterated that the party’s discipline must be upheld and warned of strict action against any leader violating party norms. Assuring the protesters, he stated that their concerns would be conveyed to Chandrababu Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh.
