  "summary": "The race for the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) polls is heating up in Visakhapatnam as the district administration and political parties ramp up their preparations. With the election material recently arriving at the Swarna Bharathi Indoor Stadium, district officials are fine-tuning logistics and ensuring smooth administration. Political parties, including the Telugu Desam Party, Jana Sena Party, and YSR Congress Party, are mobilising their grassroots networks and intensifying their cadres' activities at the ward level. The expansion of GVMC to 120 wards has created new opportunities for political aspirants, with former corporators and new candidates vying for influence and nominations.",
