Former Minister Anam Ramanarayana Reddy continues to enact a double role, one as the incumbent MLA for Venkatagiri Assembly constituency and also the TDP’s nominee for Atmakur segment in the ensuing general elections.
Taking advantage of the clout he wields in both the constituencies, the senior politician is leaving no stone unturned to dent the prospects of YSR Congress Party, from which he had walked out citing ideological inconsistencies and attack on his self-respect.
In spite of his hectic campaign in Atmakur constituency, Mr. Reddy spared some time to visit the famous Poleramma folk goddess temple in Venkatagiri late on Tuesday. He used the chance not only to offer prayers, but also to revive his old contacts and divert them towards supporting the TDP candidate Kurugondla Lakshmi Priya and BJP nominee for Tirupati Lok Sabha seat V. Varaprasada Rao.
