Naidu Withholds Tickets for Opportunistic TDP Defectors, Sets Principled Precedent
-
Chandrababu Naidu has not offered tickets to rebels from other parties who recently joined the TDP, including several former YCP MPs and MLAs.
-
These rebels turned against the YCP out of unfulfilled personal desires, despite serving almost a full term.
-
Naidu made a prudent choice to not reward the rebels' self-serving political acts by withholding tickets.
-
Neither Naidu nor Jagan Mohan Reddy should encourage the unhealthy trend of MPs and MLAs engaging in politics just for personal gain.
-
Naidu has set an example by not endorsing current-term rebel MLAs and MPs from other parties, which would set a bad precedent for democracy.
