Ram Mohan Naidu, son of former Union Minister late K.Yerran Naidu, scored a hat-trick from the Srikakulam constituency in just-concluded elections.
The 37-year-old is the national general secretary of TDP and is considered one of the key loyalists of party president N. Chandrababu Naidu, who is set to become the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.
With 16 MPs, TDP is the second largest party after BJP in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Two more MPs of the TDP are also likely to be inducted into the Narendra Modi-led Cabinet.
