The Congress party in the State will start the selection of the candidates to contest in the forthcoming elections from January 17, said the AP Congress Committee president Gidugu Rudra Raju.
Addressing a press conference at Andhra Ratna Bhavan, the party office, here on January 12 (Friday), Mr. Rudra Raju said the All India Congress Committee Chairman Madhusudan Mistry and members Suraj Hegde and Shafi would start the process of the candidates’ selection at the party office.
He said Andhra Pradesh had been meted out a raw deal under the YSR Congress Party rule. Development had come to a grinding halt and unemployment among youth had become a serious problem. A section of the young generation was falling easy prey to drugs, which was a matter of serious concern, he said.
