It appears that ABN Radha Krishna aspires to assume the position of the Rajguru of the TDP after the passing of Ramoji Rao. This insight comes from an insider familiar with the situation.
The insider said, "Lokesh is still insisting on appointing TV5 Naidu as the TTD Chairman, even though ABN MD Radha Krishna has suggested that someone else should be appointed. Lokesh isn't listening, which is why the news is being written against Sana Satish, the right hand of Lokesh in Delhi. This could be an attempt of Radhakrishna to take Lokesh into his control."
He continued, "Radha Krishna's illusions that the Chief Ministers of both states are under his control and will follow his directives are now being dispelled."
While there is nothing wrong with having ambitions to influence a party and system, as Ramoji Rao once did, one must have the finesse and acumen to deal with people—especially a young leader like Lokesh.
It seems that Radha Krishna may be lacking in that finesse, which is why he hasn't been able to gain the same control over the party.
