The election battle in the Chittoor and Annamayya districts is set to be a high-voltage affair with three seasoned political leaders, including former Chief Ministers N. Chandrababu Naidu, N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, and YSRCP strongman from Rayalaseema, Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy, entering the fray once again.
Earlier, it appeared as though the Peddireddis had the upper hand with Mr. Ramachandra Reddy contesting from the Punganur Assembly constituency and his son and sitting MP, P. Venkata Mithun Reddy, contesting from the Rajampeta Lok Sabha constituency.
However, with the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance announcing their support for Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy as the BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate for Rajampeta, the path to victory does not seem to be a cakewalk for Mr. Mithun Reddy.
