A silent wave of support to alliance parties picking up in State, says Kesineni Chinni

The TDP’s candidate for Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency says his election battle with his brother Kesineni Nani of YSRCP and Valluri Bhargav of Congress might look like a familial fight but it is a fight between development and destruction
Kesineni Shivnath (alias Chinni), the TDP candidate in the Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency, is confident of a hands-down victory in the general election.
“The people are looking for a leader and a party that can develop their State. Going by their mood, it is obvious that the TDP is their choice; there is a wave of support for the TDP-JSP-BJP alliance rising in silence. People are ready and eager to unseat the YSRCP government,” he told The Hindu.
Chinni is in a triangular contest with his brother Kesineni Srinivas (Nani), who is with the YSRCP, and his nephew Valluri Bhargav, the Congress candidate for the Vijayawada Lok Sabha seat.
The election might look like a familial fight, but it is actually a battle between development and destruction. The people are vexed by the State government policies that have brought development to a grinding halt in and around Vijayawada, he said.
The TDP candidate said that employment opportunities have drastically fallen in Vijayawada city, which was once a hub for commercial activity and a nerve centre for the automobile industry. The number of jobs in the automobile industry has dwindled. Construction activity is almost nil. These construction workers and the Autonagar workers are migrating to other cities in search of livelihood. This has impacted other sectors like hospitality as well. These are some of the factors that make the voters think twice before voting for the YSRCP.
“We have a simple agenda—a common man’s agenda—to generate employment and bring back the city’s past glory,” he said.
Chinni, who released his manifesto for Vijayawada Lok Sabha, said he would tap the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for creating necessary infrastructure in Autonagar and impart skill development to workers in the automobile industry.
