Reputed  businessperson Potluri Vara Prasad  made a vain bid to get into the good books of TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu with an eye on Vijayawada parliamentary constituency ticket recently, according to Telugu Desam Party sources. Exactly a year after the new in-charge was named, an attempt was made for change of guard in the constituency.

A senior leader of Krishna district, sources said, accompanied Mr. Vara Prasad and introduced him to Mr. Naidu. The TDP chief welcomed him, but decided to show restraint and suggested him to look for some other constituency. Mr. Naidu told them that he found no valuable reason to replace the present in-charge, sources added.
