The CPI(M) has planned to contest from at least 10 Assembly constituencies in the forthcoming elections in Andhra Pradesh. The CPI(M has decided to contest from Lok Sabha constituencies such as Araku and Nellore, said CPI(M) State secretary V. Srinivasa Rao told The Hindu.
He said that 26 Assembly constituencies had been identified where his party had a considerable presence and strength. “We have been working for several months to firm up our base across the State. The CPI(M) Central leadership has advised the State unit to leverage all its energies on 10 to 16 Assembly constituencies though the party has a considerable voter base in 26 constituencies. The idea is the optimum utilisation of resources. So, it has been decided to contest from at least 10 Assembly constituencies,” he said.
