It looks like that stepping out Venkiah Naidu the current Vice President from the Saffron party is a huge relief for BJP leaders.Because after him is none to force or push them to play second fiddle to support Telugu Desam Party and its supremo N Chandrababu Naidu.
Actually the current status of BJP is that they are now in strong search for a strong leader who can help the saffron party grow independently in the state.Somu Veerraju is the higher priority given as the next president of the party state unit.
This final decision is likely to be taken by the party chief Amit Shah when he visits Vijayawada later this month.The advantage of Veerraju is that he belongs to the strong Kapu community which is up in arms against the Kamma-the most dominated TDP and is now looking for a powerful alternative in the 2019 elections.
