TDP will win Vizag Mayor’s post, says MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao

Bhimili TDP MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao declared that the party will win the Mayor’s position in the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) elections by a significant margin. Speaking to the media at his camp office on Tuesday, the MLA expressed that the residents of Visakhapatnam hold a high regard for Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu.

He reminded the audience that even during the YSR Congress Party’s (YSRCP) wave across the state in 2019, the people of Visakhapatnam remained loyal to Mr. Naidu. Rao also pointed out that the constituencies of Gajuwaka, Bhimili, and Pendurthi had achieved the highest, second highest, and fourth highest majorities, respectively, in the 2024 elections.

The MLA further mentioned that the government has fostered the growth of Visakhapatnam in the IT, tourism, and real estate industries. He highlighted that gram sabhas in 79 village panchayats within Bhimili Rural, Anandapuram, Padmanabham, and Pendurthi mandals are passing resolutions to merge with the GVMC, a decision that had already been communicated to three mandals in the Bhimili constituency via a letter.

When asked if his son, Ganta Raviteja, was contesting for the Mayor’s post, Srinivasa Rao noted that there is ample time to choose a candidate and that the final decision would be made by the party leadership.
