In December 2018 assembly elections, Nama contested from TDP and lost to TRS MLA Puvvada Ajay Kumar. Since then he is staying away from party activities and he is also in an opinion that TDP is wiping out of Telangana.  There has been a talk for quite some time that Nama would be resigning from the TDP. He did not attend the TDP politburo meeting held a couple of days ago, thereby hinting at his resignation.

However, everybody speculated that Nama would be joining the Congress party and would contest the Lok Sabha elections on Congress ticket. According to highly placed sources, Nama was compelled to join the TRS, following the recent CBI raids on his company. Apparently, the TRS chief is said to be behind these CBI raids to arm-twist Nama. Having no other option, he had joined the TRS.
