Ongole: Following a meeting and discussion at hs camp office in Tadepalli, former Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy appointed Darsi MLA Buchepalli Siva Prasad Reddy as the president of the party in Prakasam district.
He also appointed former Chandragiri MLA Dr Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddyas the observer for the Ongole parliament constituency.
The Buchepalli family requires no introduction to the politics of the Prakasam district. Buchepalli Siva Prasad Reddy is a doctor by education and former MLA from Darsi.
His mother Venkayamma is serving as the Prakasam Zilla Parishad chairperson. His late father Subba Reddy also served as the MLA for Darsi. Siva Prasad Reddy entered politics in the early 2000s and served as the Mandal Praja Parishad president for Chimakurthy from 2006 to 2009. He won as MLA for the first time at Darsi in 2009 and has been with the people since then. Former Markapuram MLA Janke Venkatareddy served as the YSRCP Prakasam district president up to now. Though he submitted his resignation, the party high command did not accept it, as it tried to convince Balineni Srinivasa Reddy for the post. As Balineni resigned from the party, the high command opted for the next best option. The YSR Congress Party leaders in the Prakasam district extended their wishes to the Buchepalli family.
