HYDERABAD: Senior leaders of

Ch Adinayarana Reddy, JC Diwakar Reddy, Ganta Srinivas Rao and Payyavula Keshav are yet to make up their mind over joining BJP. Though senior

leaders like Ram Madhav have been in touch with these leaders from

, the latter have not taken a decision to join the saffron party.

While the ruling YSR Congress Party has made it clear that sitting legislators of TDP should first resign from their posts and then join the party, BJP expressed its willingness to take any TDP leader. The BJP top brass, including AP BJP chief

, held a series of talks with TDP leaders. A senior BJP leader told TOI that a majority of TDP leaders, including MLAs, would be joining the saffron party.

“We are going to revive the party in a big way in AP. Chief minister Jaganmohan Reddy is already facing a lot of flak from Hindus for his decisions. It will be advantageous to us as Jagan is also carrying the baggage of cases booked against him by CBI and Enforcement Directorate,” he said.

Sources said TDP MLAs who are not confident of facing the electorate again would rather join BJP, while those who are confident of winning again on any party ticket are inching towards joining the ruling YSRCP. The ruling YSRCP is focusing on districts where it is not as strong as it is in the rest of Andhra.

Party sources said the party would be strengthened in Visakhapatnam and Srikakulam districts. “The party leadership is also focusing on urban pockets in Andhra Pradesh like Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Rajahmundry,” sources said.

Meanwhile, Diwakar on Friday said Jagan had done a good job in his first 100 days as chief minister. “Jagan has taken some good decisions. We will have to see how the administration will shape up,” he added.
