Anarpathi - A Set Back to TDP ?
It is expected that the telugu desam party would reclaim the controversial assembly seat of Anaparthi in the east godavari district, which was awarded to the bharatiya janata party as part of the nda partners' seat-sharing arrangement. During his electoral speech at kovvur on Thursday, none other than tdp president and former chief minister N chandrababu naidu gave a hint to such effect.
Even though the bjp was given the seat, he indicated that talks with them were still ongoing and that no decision had been made yet. Among the 94 assembly seats for which the tdp announced candidates in the initial list was Anaparthi.

The tdp and Jana Sena coalition was not joined by the bjp at that time.
However, as the Anarparthi assembly seat is part of the same parliamentary constituency as Rajahmundry, the bjp planned to run Daggubati Purandeshwari for the assembly seat as well.

Despite Naidu's attempts to appease him, he remains uncompromising. In the meantime, the bjp understood that Shivarama krishnam raju was not a viable contender since the tdp and Jana Sena party cadres were not endorsing him sufficiently.
According to reports, the bjp has consented to give the tdp back the Anaparthi seat in exchange for another appropriate seat since it will affect Purandeshwari's chances.
