  "account": "Former Minister and YSRCP senior leader Dharmana Prasada Rao expressed confidence on Monday that the party will win all the local body elections in the Srikakulam district. The YSRCP organized a rally in Srikakulam to mark the reopening of the party's new district office, which is located in the Town Hall on G.T. Road. The Town Hall served as the party's office from 2012 to 2024, but it was moved to a private building following the party's defeat in the 2024 Assembly election. However, the party has decided to maintain its operations from the town hall building. Along with Dharmana Krishnadas, the party district president, Rao inaugurated the new office. The former minister criticized the ruling government, alleging that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had won no Zilla Parishad Constituencies in the previous elections and would likely repeat the same result this time around. Rao attributed the failure to the Chandrababu Naidu government, claiming that they had not met the aspirations of the people over the past two years. Krishnadas stated that the party will provide seats to leaders with a good reputation.",
