Ys Chowdary  

YS Chowdary, CM Ramesh, Garikapati Mohan Rao and TG Venkatesh, four out of six Rajya Sabha TDP MPs met chairman M Venkaiah Naidu and handed him a letter of a resolution passed by the legislature party urging its merger.

YS Chowdary, a Rajya Sabha MP of the TDP, is considered close to TDP chief and Andhra CM Naidu. Chowdary was MoS in the Union Cabinet headed by PM Narendra Modi before Naidu quit the NDA early last year over the Centre's refusal to grant special status to Andhra Pradesh.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached assets (movable and immovable) worth Rs 315 crore of a firm that belongs to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) lawmaker YS Chowdary. The firm is in soup over money laundering and bank fraud
 

The ED has claimed that the MP’s group of companies have defrauded banks to the tune of Rs 5,700 crore. After the raid, a summons notice is issued for further investigation by the agencies.

The raid is vital following Telangana Rashtra Samithi's appeal to drive Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party out of Telangana.
