Andhra Pradesh political arena is already crowded with businessmen-turned politicians such as L Rajagopal (Congress) of Lanco group, Nama Nageswara Rao (TDP) of Madhucon, Y S Chowdary (TDP) of Sujana Group, G Vivekanand (TRS) of Visaka Industries, T Subbarami Reddy (Congress) of Gayatri Group and Kavuri Sambasiva Rao (Cabinet Minister) of Progressive Constructions.
Earlier in January, Lanco Group CEO (Business Development) Naga Prasad Kandimalla left the organisation and joined the TDP to pursue a full-time political career. When contacted, Kandimalla said he would contest in elections if the party asked him to.
