Two candidates from the Congress filed their nomination papers for the Tirupati and Nellore Lok Sabha constituencies on Friday.
Former Union minister Chinta Mohan submitted his nomination papers for the Tirupati (SC) Lok Sabha constituency at the district Collectorate. The former Special Invitee to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) expressed concern over the functioning of EVMs and wanted the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take stock.
Koppula Raju, who had served as District Collector of Nellore, filed his nomination for the Nellore Lok Sabha constituency. He submitted the form to the District Election Officer (DEO) and Collector M. Hari Narayanan while expressing confidence in winning the seat, for which two Rajya Sabha members, Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy (TDP alliance) and V. Vijaya Sai Reddy (YSRCP) are in the fray, making it a keenly-watched contest.
