  "account": "Nedurumalli Ram Kumar, the Venkatagiri constituency in-charge of the YSR Congress, has pledged to deliver the Venkatagiri town municipality to party leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, promising to present it as a gift. Upon his return to his residence in the town, Ram Kumar was greeted by party candidates and activists.\n\nFrom all 36 wards of the town, party activists gathered at Ram Kumar's residence, vocally supporting Boligarla Deevena, the municipal chairperson candidate. Ms. Deevena formally submitted her nomination papers on Saturday, accompanied by Ram Kumar and senior party leader B. Mastan Yadav.\n\nIn his address, Ram Kumar urged party cadres to work relentlessly to secure victory for all party candidates, the chairperson, and councillors, so as to present the municipality as a \"Dasara gift\" to Jagan Mohan Reddy. He reminisced that Venkatagiri had consistently supported the YSR family, and thus, Jagan Mohan Reddy holds a special place in his heart for this constituency. The YSRCP has shown keen interest in capturing this town that borders the Tirupati and Nellore districts.",
