VIZIANAGARAM
Political activity was almost subdued, both in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts for the last couple of weeks, thanks to inordinate delay in finalising candidates for MP seats and a majority of Assembly seats.
Meanwhile, back in 2019, March first week had witnessed unprecedented political activity with rallies, street corner gatherings, public meetings and an early finalisation of candidates for almost all seats. Former Union Minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju, who represented Vizianagaram Parliament seat between 2014 and 2019, initiated the campaign in the first week of March 2019, with the confirmation of his candidature for MP seat.
