The conflict between the sitting MLA from Visakhapatnam (South) constituency Vasupalli Ganesh Kumar and the ruling YSR Congress Party’s (YSRCP) corporators and ward members took a turn for the worse, with several local leaders meeting the party’s North Andhra regional coordinator Y.V. Subba Reddy and informing him of their decision to not cooperate with Mr. Ganesh Kumar if he is given the MLA ticket in the forthcoming Assembly elections.
According to some of the members who took part in the meeting, they informed Mr. Subba Reddy that Mr. Ganesh Kumar, who jumped ship from the TDP to the YSRCP after the 2019 elections, is not giving corporators the respect they deserve, and is apparently opposed to development in certain wards.
