The Yellandu ST-reserved Assembly constituency in Telangana’s tribal majority Bhadradri Kothagudem district is all set to throw up an interesting electoral battle in the forthcoming Assembly polls.
Ending speculations over her entry into electoral politics, Adivasi academic Gummadi Anuradha has announced her decision to contest the elections from the ST-reserved Yellandu constituency as an independent candidate, hoping to bring in change and usher in clean politics.
Ms.Anuradha is the daughter of former Yellandu MLA Gummadi Narsaiah of CPI (ML) Praja Pandha, who represented the Yellandu constituency for five times in the past. Her father Mr.Narsaiah earned a niche for himself as a champion of the rights of tribals, peasants and working class during his long stint as CPI(ML) New Democracy leader in the past few decades in Telangana’s tribal heartland.
