NELLORE: The general election in 2014 will be a do or die battle for the Telugu Desam, party president N Chandrababu Naidu has declared.
At a meeting held to review the party's functioning in the Nellore parliamentary constituency here on Thursday, he sounded a note of caution to his party leaders: "Work hard for the party. The 2014 election will be a doordie situation for it. It will be a `now or never' situation. If we fail to improve, the party will suffer a lot in the future.''Naidu said some TDP leaders from the Nellore Town and Rural Assembly segments were rubbing shoulders with Sridhar Krishna Reddy and Anam Ramanarayana Reddy. "I will not tolerate such people and they will be shown the door if they do not mend their ways," he warned.

Though Naidu appealed to party leaders to sink their differences, former MLA from Atmakur Kommi Lakshmi Naidu finally decided to call it quits. Lakshmi Naidu, who was very close to NT Rama Rao and is so to the present party chief, decided to quit the party over serious differences with Nellore district TDP president Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy. Lakshmi Naidu announced in Atmakur that he would decided his future course of action in a day or two after consulting his followers.

The TDP chief expressed criticised Nellore leaders for not focusing on the pressing problems or fight against corruption. "Several Indiramma houses were constructed with ash. The quality of houses is inferior. But no leader fought against this. I will not tolerate such attitude," he fumed.

During the ninehour long review, a TDP worker levelled serious allegations against Kommi Lakshmi Naidu's style of functioning. Not taking the criticism lightly, a follower of Lakshmi Naidu ran towards speaker and both clashed in the presence of party chief.
