Kadiyam does a U-turn, will stay true to TDP

Amid rumors that he would quit TDP, senior leader Kadiyam Srihari met party chief Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday.

It is learnt he clarified to Naidu about the rumors of his exit from the party. He made it clear that he will remain loyal to TDP, sources said.

Speculation of Kadiyam's possible exit from the party surfaced after he skipped Naidu's conclusion meeting at Vizag. Also, Kadiyam did not meet the TDP chief even four days after his return to Hyderabad. There were also reports of Kadiyam joining TRS. Kadiyam also reportedly met KCR's son KTR. It's another thing that KTR voluntarily came down to meet the TDP leader. However, all those rumours have been now put to rest with Kadiyam's clarification to Naidu.

The question that's now haunting every politician's mind is if Kadiyam was indeed miffed with Naidu all these days for being ignored by the party. Why then did he send across feelers that he was all set to join the TRS? What brought a change of heart?
