Corporator of ward No. 46 (YSR Congress Party) K. Satish was unanimously elected as Deputy Mayor of Visakhapatnam in an election organised at the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) Council Hall here on Friday. District Collector A. Mallikarjuna announced the name of the second Deputy Mayor. Mr. Satish was voted by all the 58 YSRCP corporators and three independent corporators. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) corporators did not participate in the election. Speaking to the media after the election, Tourism Minister M. Srinivasa Rao said that for the first time in the history of the GVMC an SC candidate was elected as the Deputy Mayor. The earlier government used to treat Dalits as vote bank, but the YSRCP government is providing them key posts, he said. He said that the TDP is not able to digest the development being done by the State government. “All they know is to criticise the State government and stop development activities,” he added.More Related News
