Though the National Democratic Alliance partners (TDP-JSP-BJP alliance) have declared their candidates for the Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha segment, they have yet to announce their candidates for the three main Assembly constituencies of Bheemunipatnam, Visakhapatnam North, and Visakhapatnam South under the segment.
Even though the YSRCP has already announced its candidates, the NDA has yet to make the final calls, causing considerable confusion among voters and prospective candidates waiting in the wings for days.
All three Assembly constituencies are key, and it is learnt that the NDA is still working out the finer details, as there is large-scale resentment over the prospective candidates.
