Congress offers Vizianagaram mayor’s seat to Ishwarya Lakshmi

The Congress party in Vizianagaram has offered the mayor's seat to Ishwarya Lakshmi, a former Congress mayor candidate. The decision was made after considering her contributions to the party and the people over the past few years. Ishwarya Lakshmi Yadav, who is currently the women's wing president of the Vizianagaram District Congress Committee, received the ticket.

This was decided following discussions between the District Congress Committee President, Maripi Vidya Sagar, and other leaders, including former PCC President Gidugu Rudra Raju.

Rudra Raju, who is also a Congress Working Committee member, expressed confidence that the Congress would demonstrate its strength in Vizianagaram. He pointed out that both the TDP and YSRCP had ignored the district's development over the past 12 years. Vidya Sagar added that the party had given tickets to young candidates and women to contest as corporators in 62 divisions of Vizianagaram city.
