TDP inches towards achieving consensus on Nellore Mayor seat
On the other hand, the rival YSR Congress Party has already announced the name of Anam Vijayakumar Reddy, the party’s Nellore Rural constituency in-charge, who is firmly ensconced in the saddle.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is reportedly close to reaching a consensus on its candidate for the Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) Mayor seat. Senior TDP leaders, including former Deputy Mayor P. Roop Kumar Yadav, are actively engaged in discussions with potential candidates. The mood within the TDP is optimistic, even though the seat was initially unreserved.
Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, who controls half of the 72 municipal corporation divisions in his constituency, had previously expressed interest in the Mayor seat for a family member. However, as he is contesting for a cabinet berth in the upcoming reshuffle, other aspirants are relieved. The TDP is conducting an IVRS poll to gauge public opinion before finalizing a consensus candidate.
The rival YSR Congress Party has already announced their choice, Nellore Rural constituency in-charge Anam Vijayakumar Reddy, supported by his wife, outgoing Nellore Zilla Parishat Chairperson Anam Arunamma.
