Among the most powerful MPs of Congress in Andhra Pradesh, the place of Lagadapati Rajagopal ranks high. He is not just a politician but also a very influential industrialist having a range of businesses. After the Telangana issue, he became more popular in the non-Telangana region for his Samaikyandhra movement.
But right now it is heard that Lagadapati is having some friction with the congress high command. Reports say Sonia Gandhi and her team wants Lagadapati to move out of Vijayawada and contest from Nellore for the 2014 elections. But Lagadapati is reportedly very adamant on contesting from Vijayawada only.
Reports say Lagadapati is contending about the development he brought to the city in his tenure and how the people of Vijayawada want him to be around. But it is heard that the high command has few other calculations and they are positive that Lagadapati will lose from Vijayawada. Let us see who will agree to whom.
