Somu Veerraju on his way out as AP BJP chief?
Whether or whether these rumours are true is unknown, but sources close to Veerraju claim that some bjp core committee leaders propagated them to discredit him in front of the party's national leadership. When the prime minister visited Visakhapatnam, "these leaders sought to hijack the entire show, giving any credit to the state bjp chairman," according to a source close to Veerraju. "There has been a conspiracy to get Veerraju removed from the office."
Modi allegedly voiced frustration with the state party officials' laziness during his conversation with the bjp core committee members, while he avoided making any specific mention of Veerraju. This sparked rumours that Modi had ordered party chief J P Nadda to change the ap bjp leadership, and if those rumours were true, Veerraju would be leaving his position. It is unclear who will succeed him as the bjp leader of the state.
