The royal families which joined hands just before the 2019 elections tasted a bitter defeat in Vizianagaram where the YSRCP won all nine Assembly seats with a comfortable majority. The party also won the Vizianagaram Parliament seat with a decent majority.
Former Union Minister P.Ashok Gajapathi Raju of erstwhile Vizianagaram princely State, Minister for Mines Sujay Krishna Ranga Rao of Bobbili fort town, former Union Minister Kishore Chandra Deo and former Minister Satrucharla Vijayarama Raju of Kurupam royal family were united by TDP president N.Chandrababu Naidu.
In fact, there was no eye- to-eye contact among them due to continuation of historical rivalry and other differences. However, all of them agreed to bury their differences to get back their political glory. But the efforts could not ensure their victory.
