The Hindu
TDP and YSRCP high commands hold crucial meetings to finalize candidates for local body MLC seat in Vizianagaram.
The party high commands of both the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) are holding crucial meetings in Amaravati on Tuesday morning (November 5, 2024) to finalise the candidates for local body MLC seat of united Vizianagaram district.
Although YSRCP has the absolute majority in local bodies, the TDP indicated that it would also field the candidate in the election. Former Union Minister and TDP senior leader held a high-level meeting a couple of days ago to elicit views of the leaders of the party.
The TDP party’s senior leader Gottapu Venkata Naidu reportedly has shown interest to contest the election. TDP State Secretary Gompa Krishna’s name is also being considered for the election.
TDP’s national president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu would hold the meeting in Amaravati to take a decision about the election. Majority leaders are suggesting the high command not to contest the election since YSRCP won all 34 ZPTCs and 389 seats out of 487 MPTC segments.
With the hint by the TDP about its contest, YSRCP high command has given top priority to win the election. Former Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is holding a crucial meeting with former Ministers and MLAs and MLCs in Vijayawada on Tuesday morning (November 5, 2024).
