After a lot of dilly dallying, finally BJP seems to have finalised the name for the president post of its AP unit. MLC Somu Veerraju's name is said to have finalised by the BJP top brass.
BJP national president Amit Shah has done deliberations in two-rounds and met few senior leaders of the party from the state. He has met Muralidhar Rao, Ram Madhav, Venkaiah Naidu, Nirmala Sitharaman. Amit has also met Purandeswari, AP state minister Manikyala Rao, outgoing president and MP Hari Babu and MLC Somu Veerraju.
Apparently, Somu Veerraju's name is almost confirmed. After the meeting with Amit Shah, a senior leader said to have walked out with disappointment over the decision. Another BJP minister in AP cabinet, Kamineni Srinivas wasn't invited and this has become talking point.
Insiders say that all isn't well within AP BJP unit and this has once again come out in open while BJP anointing its state president for the successor state.
Why is Modi Turning Blind Eye to AP?
