Srikakulam: TDP is making all efforts to wrest Rajam Assembly segment this time as it lost here with a least margin of votes in 2014 elections. In 2014, YSRCP candidate K Jogulu won against TDP candidate K Pratibha Bharathi with a slender margin of 512 votes.

Now, Rajam, Vangara, Regidi and Santhakaviti manals are in Rajam segment. From 2009, Rajam segment was reserved for SC candidates with a total polling stations 285.
In all the four mandals in the segment, Turupukapu voters play crucial role in winning horses. Kalinga, Velama, Padmasali, Vysya and other BC caste voters are occupied later positions.
The constituency has considerable number of SC voters also. TDP leaders are making all possible efforts to capture this segment as it is native segment of TDP State president and Minister for Energy K Kala Venkata Rao.
