Congress: The schedule for general elections as well as AP assembly elections is likely to be released any moment. All the political parties have already focused on the selection of candidates. The ruling YCP is aggressive in this regard. As many as nine lists have been announced and the sittings have changed for up to 80 people. MPs were selected as MLAs and ministers as MPs. On the other hand, Telugu Desam Party announced 94 candidates. While 24 assembly seats have been allotted to Janasena, Pawan has finalized five candidates. But now the Congress party has also focused on the selection of candidates. Due to this, the clash of leaders at the party office in Vijayawada is remarkable.
PCC chief Sharmila has started the selection process of candidates. She received applications from candidates constituency wise. Now Sharmila is talking directly to the aspirants. Knowing their views. Strong candidates are being finalized. In fact, many leaders who have popular power in Congress have joined other parties. As a result, there are no prominent leaders in the constituencies. But tens of senior activists and second tier leaders continued to come in every constituency. They all became active as Sharmila took the reins of leadership. That is why they have applied now. They stated in the application that this is the public service they have done along with their seniority in the Congress party. Sharmila is talking to everyone and preparing as many strong leaders as possible to contest.
Andhra Ratna Bhavan in Vijayawada, which was the office of AP Congress, used to look barren. After Sharmila took the reins, it was becoming crowded. Media coverage is also high. Workers are coming to office more than leaders. It looks like it is getting stuck. Also, as the selection process of candidates is going on, many are trying their luck. A declaration meeting will be held on the promises of partition. A huge public meeting will be held in Visakhapatnam to protest against the privatization of the steel plant. Congress representatives from Telangana and Karnataka will attend in large numbers. At this juncture, the efforts being made by the Congress party to make a strong impression is giving new enthusiasm to the party cadre.
