TDP describes the visit to Naidu’s home turf as a ‘damage control exercise’
The visit of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to Kuppam, the home turf of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, slated for September 22 assumes political significant. The activists of the TDP and the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) clashed in Kuppam last month.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is set to visit Kuppam for the first time in his capacity as the Chief Minister and the ruling party cadres are in an upbeat mood. He is scheduled to lay foundation stones for various developmental works of estimated ₹66 crore in the limits of the newly-formed Kuppam municipality.
The Chief Minister’s visit to the tri-State junction is viewed as a ‘meticulously planned strategy’ to give strength to the repeated challenges posed by the YSRCP leaders, including the district strongman and Minister for Forests and Energy P. Ramachandra Reddy that the victory of Mr. Naidu in 2024 elections would be ‘next to impossible’.
Mr. Ramachandra Reddy has reiterated that the Handri-Neeva Kuppam branch canal would be completed before the 2024 Assembly elections.
Political experts are of the opinions that the YSRCP appears to have been successful in its ‘anti-Naidu’ campaign. The ruling party claims credit saying that it was Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy who had upgraded the Kuppam panchayat into a municipality, besides making Kuppam a revenue division.
The proposed mandal complex project, which aims at bringing various administrative setups under one umbrella in the constituency, has won the appreciation of the people of the agrarian belt, the ruling party cadres say.
“The YSRCP government’s Kalyanamasthu scheme will send Mr. Naidu packing in Kuppam as a majority of the population here belongs to the Backward Classes, minorities, and SC/ST categories,” says a YSRCP senior leader.
