The Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP), the main opposition in Andhra Pradesh, on Sunday released the full list of its candidates for 25 Lok Sabha and 175 Assembly constituencies. The state goes to poll on April 11.
TDP leaders former MP Vanga Geeta, Adala Prabhakar Reddy and MLC Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, all who joined the party on Saturday evening, are being fielded from Kakinada seat, Nellore seat and Ongole Lok Sabha seat respectively. Reddy was selected as the TDP candidate for Nellore Rural Assembly seat on Thursday but he joined YSRCP.
Modugula Venugopal Reddy, the TDP MLA who recently joined the YSRC, has been selected as the candidate for the Guntur Lok Sabha seat while former minister B Durga Prasad, who also defected from the TDP, has been chosen for the Tirupati (SC) seat.
Of the 25 Lok Sabha candidates, seven were from backward classes, four Scheduled Castes (SC) and one Scheduled Tribe, news agency PTI reported quoting the YSRCP chief. He added that among the Assembly candidates, 41 belong to the backward classes and five to the Muslim community. Only two candidates, who were elected as party MPs in 2014, have been re-nominated, while for the remaining 23 seats, the YSRC has chosen new nominees.
Incidentally, Butta Renuka from Kurnool, who returned to the YSRC after TDP denied her either a Lok Sabha or an Assembly ticket, has not been selected by the YSRCP either. The party dropped Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy and YV Subba Reddy, who represented Nellore and Ongole constituencies respectively, while Vara Prasad, who was Tirupati MP, has now been fielded for the from Gudur (SC) Assembly constituency.
TDP MP Pandula Ravindra Babu, who joined the YSRC recently, has also been denied a ticket. Anakapalli MP M Srinivasa Rao, another defector, however, has been given the Bhimili Assembly ticket of his choice. Rao was first elected to the Assembly from Bhimili in 2009.
Potluri Vara Prasad (PVP), who is making his political debut, will be the candidate from Vijayawada parliamentary constituency. A former inspector of police, Gorantla Madhav, who had a feud with TDP MP J C Diwakar Reddy in Anantapuramu district, has been fielded from Hindupur Lok Sabha segment.
YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy released the list after paying homage to his late father and former chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy at their family estate in Kadapa district.
In 2014, the YSRC won eight Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh.
