TIRUPATI, MARCH 27. The TDP suffered a major blow in the Chief Minister's home district of Chittoor when its Tamballapalle ex-MLA, Lakshmidevamma, quit the party peeved over the allotment of the seat to the BJP. Her resignation did not come as any surprise because she had been warning from day one that she would walk out along with her supporters if the TDP conceded the seat to the BJP to accommodate its State party leader, Challapalli Narasimha Reddy, who has a sizeable following in the arid and tail-end segment of the district. The partnership between the TDP-BJP combine would face a rough weather in the constituency in the election as she would be entering the ring as an independent candidate and declared as much at Tampallepalle at the meeting she held there to bid adieu to the TDP along with 28 sarpanches and 4 MPTCs besides several party activists. Regarding the release of the lists by the TDP and the Congress, as far as the former is concerned it is in Mr. Chandrababu Naidu's court.
