YCP sitting MLAs to contest again

Chittoor: Triangular fight seems to be inevitable for Chittoor Assembly seat as  YSRCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy  has given green  signal for all the sitting legislators   of the district. J Srinivasulu is the official candidate for YSRCP whose efforts for the last five years yielded good results.

Sources reveal that D A Satya Prabha, sitting TDP legislator is likely to get  the  nod from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu while former Congress MLA  C K Babu declared that he will  contest from Chittoor as an independent candidate.

There will not be considerable impact of BJP, Janasena or left parties, it is felt.     It is to be noted that YSRCP state general secretary  P Ramachandra Reddy   played a crucial role in the district in the selection of the sitting legislators for the ensuing elections. In the elections   in 2014,  YCP had won 8 seats  leaving the remaining  6  to it’s nearest rival TDP. N Amaranatha Reddy, Industries Minister (Palamaner) defected to TDP from YCP.

Sitting YCP legislators  P Ramachandra Reddy ( Punganur), C Ramachandra Reddy (Piler), R L Roja ( Nagari), C Bhaskara Reddy (Chandragiri), K Narayana Swamy (Gangadhara Nellore), Dr.Sunil ( Puthalapattu ) and Dr.Thippa Reddy ( Madanapalli ) would stake their claim again in 2019 polls. As was assured earlier by YCP chief earlier,  Chandramouli will contest from Kuppam. He was earlier defeated by Chandrababu Naidu. Adimulam, an SC candidate of YCP will contest from Satyavedu, it is said.
