Kadapa Parliament Seat: TDP and Congress Lock Horns in High-Stakes Battle?
The upcoming Kadapa Parliament election in Andhra Pradesh is becoming the focal point of political discourse in the Telugu states, as a flurry of developments unfolds in the region. This electoral contest assumes particular significance in the aftermath of the CBI’s mention of MP Avinash Reddy’s name in Vivekananda Reddy’s charge-sheet, setting the stage for a gripping showdown.
The political landscape of Kadapa has witnessed notable transformations over the past half-decade. Following the inception of the YSRCP, Jagan Mohan Reddy relinquished his position as a Congress MP and clinched victory in the 2011 by-election. Avinash Reddy subsequently emerged triumphant in the 2014 and 2019 elections, now vying for a third consecutive term. However, the dynamics have taken a dramatic turn in the current election cycle, with former CM YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s daughter and PCC President, Sharmila Reddy, directly challenging her elder brother, CM Jaganmohan Reddy.
Sharmila finds herself in direct contention against Avinash Reddy, the son of YS Bhaskar Reddy, fielded by Jagan. This familial face-off marks a historic first for the YS family members, intensifying the electoral stakes for the coveted Kadapa Lok Sabha seat. Sharmila’s transition from campaigning for Jagan’s party’s victory in the 2019 elections to opposition within the same political realm adds a layer of intrigue to the electoral landscape.
Amidst this familial clash, the TDP has thrown its hat into the ring with dignity, nominating Bhupesh Reddy, the son of former MLC Chadipiralla Narayana Reddy. Capitalizing on the potential split in YSRCP votes, the TDP remains optimistic about its electoral prospects, with observers suggesting that a division between Sharmila and Avinash’s support base could tilt the scales in their favor.
The specter of Viveka’s murder prior to the 2019 elections continues to cast a shadow over the political arena, with demands for a CBI investigation gaining momentum. Recent revelations implicating individuals close to Avinash’s family have added fuel to the fire, yet Jagan remains steadfast in his support. Sharmila and Sunita, unable to reconcile with Avinash’s candidacy amidst these allegations, have launched a spirited campaign against it, garnering momentum in key constituencies.
With Viveka’s enduring legacy and influence in regions like Kadapa, Badwelu, Maidukuru, Kamalapuram, and Pulivendula, Sharmila and Sunita’s campaign resonates deeply, promising a fiercely contested electoral battle in Kadapa.Read more…
