It’s TDP Vs TRS in Parakala!

It’s TDP Vs TRS in Parakala!

Parakala Segment has its own significance in Warangal district. TRS had won this segment hardly against Konda Surekha (YSRCP) in 2012 bye-elections. Konda Surekha expects the same segment after she joined in Congress. KCR proposed her candidature from Warangal (East) against Minister Saraiah. Chief Whip Gandra Venkatarami Reddy was tried for his wife but Congress High Command denied giving ticket. Congress High Command selected Inugala Venkatarami Reddy from Parakala Segment. Internal groups (Gandra Group) stayed away with Inugala in the campaign. Inugala has no relations with this segment except in Atmakur Mandal. It seems that Congress is struggling hard to win this segment. On the other hand TRS dropped it’s sitting MLA Moluguri Bhikshapati and announces Advocate JAC Sahodara Reddy as its Nominee from Parakala. Konda Couple are there behind the selection TRS candidate. TDP has very strong cadre in the segment. And its nominee Challa Dharma Reddy is building his network around the segment since last few years. Dharma Reddy won around 38k votes in 2012 bye-election. He has very good PR relations with all mandals. TDP is confident on this segment in the district. Sushma Swaraj and Pawan Kalyan recent visit give josh to the BJP and TDP cadre. TRS is hoping on Telangana sentiment and co-operation of Advocate JAC to win this segment.

Shobha cleared Gangula victory in Allagadda!

Shobha cleared Gangula victory in Allagadda!

regulations, election commission couldn’t countermand Allagadda election. EC clarifies that YSRCP is not recognized party to cancel the election. Bhanwallal also said that name of the candidate and symbol of YSRCP (FAN) will remain in EVM. As per Bhanwarlal, “We can’t change the ballot paper after assigning the symbols to the candidates.” YSRCP cadre and leaders are confused with his statement. People have lot of sympathy on her, but YSRCP fails to fetch their votes in the election. EC considers the votes that caste on Fan symbol will consider as NOTA (None of the above). People are so confused in this issue. People have to select other party in Allagadda to vote. YSRCP leadership has also not to dare to declare any Independent Nominee to support because of existence of FAN symbol in EVM. As per political analysts, this would help to TDP candidate Gangula Pratap Reddy to win. There is no strong Congress Candidate here. At the same time people have hesitate to vote for Congress. There is no use even they vote for YSRCP in EVM. All this helps for Gangula victory in this segment. But sympathy on Shobha helps YSRCP Nandhyala MP Candidate SPY Reddy. As per rules second candidate will be declared as winner even there is more number of votes on NOTA.
