The political parties in Tirupati and Kadapa district are focussing on the mass enrolment of the communities that are dominant in constituencies into their fold to prove a point to their rivals.
Kadapa Assembly constituency has around 60,000 Muslim voters. Both the YSRCP and the TDP fielded candidates from the community in the 2014 and 2019 elections. This time too, the YSRCP has fielded Deputy Chief Minister S.B. Amzath Basha from Kadapa again. However, the TDP chose Reddeppagari Madhavi Reddy, wife of party district president R. Sreenivasa Reddy, who is banking upon on votes of Muslim women.
