Jagan ahead in campaign in Kadapa

jaganEven as the YSR congress party of YS Jaganmohan reddy has decided to launch the election campaign in the Pulivendula assembly and Kadapa Lok Sabha constituencies from tomorrow eyeing victory in the ensuing by-elections, the congress and the TDP have not yet decided on their candidates.

While Vijayamma, the widow of the late YSR will contest for Pulivendula assembly seat, her son Jagan will seek reelection to the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat in the by polls on behalf of his just born YSR Congress party.

Congress is considering the candidature of agriculture minister YS Vivekananda reddy for Pulivendula seat and that of his son-in-law N. Rajasekhara reddy for Kadapa Lok Sabha seat. But last minute changes are not ruled out, according to party sources.

Congress has also reportedly worked out a plan to defeat Jagan in Kadapa Lok Sabha by election by putting up four more candidates with the name of Jagan to confuse voters and defeat YS Jagan. The four candidates with the name of Jagan are likely to contest as independents.

Meanwhile, TDP is said to be considering the names of Kandula Rajamohan reddy, Sivananda reddy, Rama subba reddy, Putta Narasimha reddy and Mysoora reddy for Kadapa Lok Sabha seat and those of B Tech Ravi, Sumathi, wife of MLC Satish Reddy and Bhagyamma, his sister for the Pulivendula assembly seat.

While Jagan is planning to appoint in-charges to various assembly constituencies in the Kadapa Lok Sabha seat and go ahead with campaign, the congress and TDP are still busy finalizing their candidates.
