The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and its ally, the Jana Sena Party (JSP), are focussing on the Palasa Assembly constituency in Srikakulam district, which is currently being represented by Animal Husbandry Minister Sidiri Appala Raju.
As part of the efforts to wrest the seat back from the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), TDP’s Palasa in-charge Gowthu Sirisha and JSP leaders Pisini Chandramohan and Daneti Sridhar have been conducting meetings in all the mandals of the constituency to consolidate the vote-bank in the constituency that has traditionally been the TDP bastion for decades.
TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is expected to conduct the party’s ‘Raa Kadali Raa’ public meeting soon in the constituency, according to Ms. Sirisha. Mr. Naidu’s public meeting scheduled for March 8 has been postponed due to his busy schedule, she says.
