Minister, MLC vie for party ticket in 2019
Political scenario in Jammala madugu Assembly constituency, which is a hot bed of faction politics, turning ugly due to competition between Marketing Minister C Adi Narayana Reddy and MLC P Ramasubba Reddy over securing party ticket for 2019 general elections.
Kadapa: Political scenario in Jammala madugu Assembly constituency, which is a hot bed of faction politics, turning ugly due to competition between Marketing Minister C Adi Narayana Reddy and MLC P Ramasubba Reddy over securing party ticket for 2019 general elections.
The ‘War of Words’ launched by the duo over party ticket for the last couple of days not only put the party functionaries in confusion but also turned out to be a headache to party high command.
It may be recalled that there has been political rivalry between the families of Ponnapu Reddy Ramasubba Reddy and Chidipiralla Adinarayana Reddy for several decades.
In this connection Ramsubba Reddy uncle Ponnapu Reddy Siva Reddy, also known as Bombula Siva Reddy, was brutally murdered by his rivals in a bomb blast some years ago in Hyderabad.
Then, P Ramasubba Reddy entered the politics as successor of Siva Reddy and was elected as MLA from Jammalamadugu for two terms in 1994 and 1999 by defeating Devagudi Narayana Reddy who was close relative of present Minister C Adi narayana Reddy. Ramasubba Reddy had also worked as minister in A P Cabinet.
Though the faction feud culture almost is eradicated in the area, the political rivalry has been continuing between the two families.P Ramasubba Reddy who contested with the TDP ticket for three times - in 2004, 2009 and 2014 general elections from Jammalamadugu constituency, was defeated in the hands of C Adinarayana Reddy who contested on Congress ticket in 2004, 2009 and on YSR Congress ticket in 2014 elections.
