Chandrababu will be the next CM: Raghu Ramakrishna Raju

Amaravati: MP Raghu Ramakrishna Raju expressed confidence that the next Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh will be TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, emphasizing his assertion strongly. He stated the necessity for the TDP, Jana Sena, and BJP alliance to win for the state's development. Highlighting CM Jagan's substantial financial strength, Raju mentioned that it makes it challenging to underestimate the opposing YSRCP. He stressed the importance of explaining to the public the falsehoods and deceit perpetrated by Jagan. Raju also pointed out errors in seat allocations within the alliance, suggesting that rectifying these could lead to securing more seats.

Despite not being allocated a ticket by any party within the alliance, Raju remains hopeful of receiving one. He dismissed the possibility of contesting as an independent, citing a lack of connection with local BJP leaders compared to those in Delhi, which might have led to negative perceptions about him in the capital.

He praised Narasapuram BJP candidate Srinivas Varma as a good friend and acknowledged his long service to the party, suggesting that the party high command might award him the ticket. He mentioned that Delhi's leadership is still evaluating the situation, conducting surveys, and hinted at the possibility of justice being served in his favor.

Raghu Rama Raju criticized the handling of YS Vivekananda Reddy's murder case, indicating everyone knows who the culprits are. He condemned Jagan's actions and questioned why the investigation into the case was retracted after becoming CM.
