AMARAVATI: After a fortnight-long discussion with the party leaders and cadres, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief Chandrababu Naidu has finalised candidates for 18 Lok Sabha seats in the state. Naidu is giving a final touch to clear the names for the rest of the seven constituencies.
Interestingly, Naidu has re-nominated only 8 sitting MPs out of 15 sitting MPs. While Anakapalli MP M Srinivasa Rao and Amalapuram MP P Ravindra Babu quit the party to join YSR Congress Party, Kakinada MP Thota Narasimham, Rajahmundry MP M Murali Mohan and Ananthapur MP JC Diwakar Reddy voluntarily withdraw from the race.

The fate of Narasaraopet sitting MP Rayapati Sambasiva Rao and Bapatla MP Sriram Malyadri is expected to be decided in a couple of days. Although TDP has no qualms about fielding Malyadri from Bapatla, his name was put on hold as the party is seriously contemplating to field him from Tadikonda assembly segment.
Party is fielding former union ministers and Congress leaders V Kishore Chandra Deo from Araku and Kotla Jayasuryaprakash Reddy from Kurnool. Former Loksabha speaker GMC Balayogi’s son Hareesh Mathur is most likely to contest from for Amalapuram Lok Sabha constituency while sitting MP JC Diwakar Reddy’s son Pawan Kumar Reddy to fight polls from Ananthapuram constituency. The TDP supremo is planning to release the first list on Monday or Wednesday.
