Andhra Pradesh: Kuppam will be the first frontier in poll battle, says Chief Minister

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday asserted that Kuppam Assembly constituency would be the first frontier in the ruling party’s battle to win all 175 Assembly seats in the State in the 2024 elections.

Kick-starting a ‘direct interface’ with leaders from all 175 constituencies on Thursday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that massive development works have begun in Kuppam, and added that he had already allotted ₹66 crore for Kuppam municipality, which no other Chief Minister had done.

“Let me say this, I am treating Kuppam constituency as my own. We had drawn up plans to wrest this constituency in the 2019 elections, but unfortunately, Chandramouli could not win. However, I have kept my promise and nurtured his son K. Bharath as his successor. Now, I am promising to the people of Kuppam that if they elect Bharath, I will make him a Minister. I don’t see any reason for Bharath not to win this seat, and I promise that I will support him to the hilt,” Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said.
