The ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has dropped the incumbent legislators of the Chittoor and Puthalapattu (SC) Assembly constituencies as in-charges, paving the way for new faces.
In the third list of in-charges announced on January 11, the ruling party made M.C. Vijayananda Reddy, who is currently vice-chairman of the A.P. State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), as in-charge of the Chittoor constituency in place of sitting legislator A. Srinivasulu. In the same way, the party dropped M.S. Babu and made former MLA M. Suneel Kumar as in-charge of the Puthalapattu constituency.
Mr. Vijayananda Reddy is presumably the YSRCP MLA candidate for Chittoor. Hailing from Kothapallemitta in neighbouring Gangadhara Nellore (SC) Assembly constituency, Mr. Vijayananda Reddy is known for several service activities.
