CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao has said that his party is planning to contest three Lok Sabha and 24 Assembly seats in the 2024 general elections if there is no alliance with the like-minded parties in Andhra Pradesh.
“We have already laid emphasis on three Lok Sabha seats — Araku, Nellore and Kurnool — where our party has a strong presence and network at the grassroot-level,” Mr. Srinivasa Rao said in an exclusive interview with The Hindu here on October 19.
Mr. Srinivasa Rao said that Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam-West, Pendurthi, Palakonda and Kurupam constituencies in the North Andhra region were among the 24 Assembly seats identified in the State.
