The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) appears hopeful of reaching a consensus on its Mayoral candidate for Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC), with the party’s senior leaders holding parleys with the aspirants.

The mood in the TDP camp was boisterous even before the announcement of the reservation for the post. Former Deputy Mayor P. Roop Kumar Yadav, who reportedly enjoys the support of Minister for Municipal Administration Ponguru Narayana and Member of Parliament Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy, was not only hoping the seat would be reserved for the Backwards Classes (OBC), but also confident of getting the ticket.
