Purandeswari is new president of Andhra Pradesh BJP unit

New Delhi: Former union Minister Daggubati Purandeswari is the new president of Andhra Pradesh BJP unit.

The BJP high command here made an announcement to this effect on Tuesday.

The BJP also accommodated the former Chief Minister N. Kiran kumar Reddy in its national executive committee as part of its election strategy in Andhra Pradesh.

Purandeswari replaces Somu



Veerraju as the AP state president. Veerraju was instrumental in forging an alliance with Jana Sena Party of film actor Pawan Kalyan in 2014 which benefited the party. He was promptly rewarded with MLC post. 

The BJP-JSP alliance still continues and Purandeswari, daughter of late NTR, is perhaps given the reins in a bid to get some support from the TDP either openly or covertly in the 2024 polls, it is opined.
