A.P. Assembly elections: TDP activists miffed at allotment of Anakapalli seat to JSP’s Konathala Ramakrishna

The selection of senior political leader Konathala Ramakrishna as the Jana Sena Party (JSP) candidate from Anakapalli Assembly constituency has ruffled the feathers of a few leaders in the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

The seat has gone the JSP way as a part of the TDP’s alliance with it, causing heartburn among the followers of senior TDP leader and former MLA Peela Govinda Satyanarayana.

Staging a protest by wearing black bands at the office of the former MLA on February 25 (Sunday), the activists said it was shocking to know that Mr. Govind was denied ticket despite his best efforts to strengthen the party in the Anakapalli region for the past several years.
