Rayapati Sambasiva Rao Senior Congress MP from Guntur met Chandrababu Naidu today at Delhi where he is on indefinite hunger strike for four days.  

Although he denied immediate joining of TDP, his discussions with Chandrababu Naidu and stating that he will take right decision at right time gave scope to the speculation that he may join TDP.  He also said that will lose his deposit amount if he will contest on Congress ticket.  He declared his support to the fasting Chandrababu.

The same way Congress MLA Adinarayana Reddy from Jammalamadugu in Kadapa District declared that he is joining Jagan.  Ananthapur MP Anantha Venkata Ramireddy also met Jagan yesterday while he is on hunger strike at Lotus Pond and said that he supports Jagan’s cause.  But he did not tell whether he will join the party.  

Although the speculation was going on that the Congress leaders may form their own party as it is clear that it has gone out from Seemandhra, there seemed no one to take initiative and organize it.  Kiran Kumar Reddy was expected to do it with support of APNGOs.  But the leaders one after other are looking for a way out from the sinking boat Congress party as the elections are not very far.  

The same situation was created by the Center in Telangana region also because of which the Telangana Congress leaders joined TRS.  If Kiran Kumar Reddy or any other leader tries to gather the congress leaders together with a new party, by that time it is not clear how many will remain in the party!
