In what is anticipated as a significant move, the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) has reportedly decided to nominate its current Members of Parliament—Margani Bharat (Rajamahendravaram City) and Vanga Geetha (Kakinada City)—for the Assembly seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in the erstwhile East Godavari district.
A few days ago, the YSRCP high command conveyed its decision to field the duo in the Assembly segments of Rajamahendravaram and Pithapuram, respectively. The primary objective behind deploying sitting MPs in the upcoming Assembly elections is ostensibly to enhance the ruling party’s prospects of victory and secure a second term in office.
The decision was met with approval by the MPs without any objections. Consequently, Ms. Geetha was appointed as the party in-charge of the Pithapuram Assembly constituency, while Mr. Bharat assumed the role of in-charge for the Rajamahendravaram City Assembly constituency.
