Even in case they make an exception exclusively for Venkayya Naidu, the problem is that where should this veteran Nellore politician actually seek re-nomination from? He is representing Karnataka currently but in a changed political scenario, Karnataka can no longer re-elect them.
In Andhra Pradesh, Nirmala Seetharaman is particular over seeking re-nomination. But in what is being seen as KCR’s attempt to re build bridges with the BJP and Chandrababu, he has reportedly offered Venkayya Naidu, a Rajya Sabha slot from Telangana.
Apparently, KCR seems to have praised that Venkayya is a national leader and he is free to seek re-nomination from Telangana from TRS quota and his victory can be a certainty. Well Venkayya Naidu may be on cloud nine in delight or he may be in tears too!
