Nara Lokesh to contest from Mangalagiri Assembly constituency

Amaravati: In the selection of MLA and MP candidates the Telugu Desam party is moving carefully and announcing the party tickets only to the winning horses.

When coming to Nara Lokesh's MLA ticket there were a lot of speculations that he will be contesting from Rayalaseema, North Andhra region.

Recently there was a talk that he'll contest from Bheemili Assembly constituency and later North Vizag.

After long discussions, finally, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu has decided to contest his son from Mangalagiri Assembly constituency.

The reasons behind this decision are said to be that; At present, CM Chandrababu Naidu is residing at Undavalli CM camp office, which comes under Mangalagiri constituency.

From Undavalli, CM and Lokesh family members have the voting right. It's also expected that by making Lokesh contest from this constituency, then this effect will be seen in Krishan, Guntur districts.

Currently, YSR Congress party MLA Alla Rama Krishna Reddy is representing from Mangalagiri Assembly constituency.

For some time MLA Alla has become a headache to the TDP Government. In Sadavarti lands case Alla Rama Krishna Reddy has approached the high court.

Undavalli, Penumaka, and other villages come under CRDA limits. MLA Alla is trying to create objections in the construction of the capital city by filing the case in the court.

On this, The TDP high command has decided to settle the issue in Mangalagiri itself, for which Nara Lokesh will be contesting the elections for the first time from Mangalagiri Assembly constituency.
