The TDP politburo, which met here under the chairmanship of party supremo N Chandrababu Naidu, decided to hold the three-day 'Mahanadu' in Rayalaseema region following requests made by local leaders.
"Besides political issues, we will discuss development and welfare programmes being implemented in Andhra Pradesh where the party is in power. We will also discuss steps to strengthen the party in AP and Telangana," TDP politburo member and AP unit president K Kala Venkata Rao told reporters after the meeting.
By attracting more MLAs from the lone opposition YSR Congress, the TDP hopes to clinch the fourth seat as well.
The TDP so far admitted 16 MLAs of YSRC into its fold and is looking at the possible defection of some more in the coming days.
