Following the Telugu Desam Party’s (TDP) alliance with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the party’s leaders have gained significant importance at the central level. With three MPs from Andhra Pradesh already serving as union ministers, five TDP MPs have now been appointed to various key parliamentary committees.
Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy has been inducted into the Public Accounts Committee, Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy into the Public Undertakings Committee, Parthasarathy into the Estimates Committee, G. Lakshminarayana into the OBC Committee, and Krishna Prasad into the SC/ST Committee. Additionally, Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy is also a member of the Housing Committee. There is speculation that the TDP might secure the chairmanship of a ministerial standing committee.
The survival of the NDA government at the Centre is widely recognized to be reliant on the support of leaders like N. Chandrababu and Nitish Kumar. Consequently, these leaders are expected to leverage their positions to advocate for several issues pertinent to the interests of their respective states.
