AP Elections 2024: What is the situation of YCP in Kadapa? Will it sweep like the last two elections? Is that the situation now? Now the same debate is going on in AP political circles. Kadapa district has become a topic of discussion since the failure of MLC elections for graduates. There are analyzes that YCP is lagging behind due to Sharmila's entry into Congress, Vivekananda Reddy's murder issue, TDP, Jana Sena and BJP forming alliance. Exceptionally, there are signs that TDP is on the rise in Kadapa district. Compared to the last two elections.. this time the ranks of the TDP are going strong. There is a big change in Muslims and Christians. It seems that both groups are looking towards Congress. There are also signs that cross-voting will be a problem.
In the last five years, except Pulivendula, the other constituencies did not see much development. There are no job and employment opportunities for the youth. Now these have become the key points. The people of Kadapa speak their opinions openly. TDP is favored in Kadapa, Maidukuru and Proddutur. There will be a fierce fight in Kamalapuram Jammalamadugu. There is a chance for YCP in Badwelu. Overall, it is clear that TDP has recovered more than in the past.
Madhavi Reddy is contesting as TDP candidate and sitting MLA Anjad Basha is contesting as YCP candidate from Kadapa Assembly seat. Anjad Basha has been winning in the last two elections. People of Kadapa want change in elections. Afzal Khan, a Muslim candidate from the Congress, entered the fray. Sharmila taking the reins of the Congress, being a minority candidate, is likely to split the YCP votes heavily. That is why the TDP candidate has an edge here.
In Proddutur, TDP is more inclined. Varadarajula Reddy is contesting as a TDP candidate from here. Rachamallu Sivaprasad Reddy is in the field as YCP candidate. There are allegations of corruption and illegalities against him. With the murder of TDP BC leader.. BC social groups are against YCP. Surveys have also concluded that most people are leaning towards TDP.
It seems that it will not be easy this time in Kamalapuram, where Jagan's uncle P Rabindranath Reddy is contesting. There are allegations of corruption against him in this constituency. Like in the past, YCP is not one sided here. The contest became interesting as TDP fielded a strong candidate in the form of Chaitanya Reddy.
Jaganmohan Reddy's victory from Pulivendula constituency was easy. But the majority will decrease significantly. The issue of Vivekananda Reddy's murder will have an impact in this constituency. TDP candidate BTech Ravi is acting aggressively. Along with the opening of party offices, many people from YCP are being brought into TDP. On the other hand, there is a rumor that Avinash Reddy will be in the middle to meet CM Jagan. There are suspicions that the people of Pulivendula will vote silently this time.
There is a chance of a tough fight in Maidukuru too. Winds of sympathy are blowing for TDP candidate Putta Sudhakar Yadav. There is strong opposition to MLA Shettipalli Raghurami Reddy. Allegations of corruption are evident. On the other hand, former MLA DL Ravindra Reddy announced his support for the TDP candidate. This is something that comes together for TDP.
The competition in Jammalamadugu became interesting. Former minister Adinarayana Reddy is contesting here as a BJP candidate. Sitting MLA Sudhir Reddy is contesting for the second time as YCP candidate. Bhupesh Reddy who is in-charge of TDP here is contesting for Kadapa MP seat. Adinarayana Reddy is in the ring as the candidate of the alliance. The chances of a tough fight are clear here as well.
YCP has an edge in Badwelu, a SC reserved constituency. Bojja Roshanna is contesting from BJP as an alliance candidate. Sitting MLA Dasari Sudha once again entered the ring. But here YSP has a strong hold. That is why the party seems to favor it. All in all, it is remarkable that there is a tough fight in Kadapa district like never before.
