TDP likely to field Turpu Kapu leader as MP candidate for Vizianagaram Lok Sabha segment

TDP Lok Sabha Vizianagaram Assembly Etcherla Bharatiya Janata Party Bobbili

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) which has alliance with BJP and JSP is expected to field Turpu Kapu community leader to win the hearts of the largest community in Vizianagaram Parliamentary constituency.

The party observed that the community was unhappy with the allocation of four Assembly seats out of seven constituencies within the MP segment for the upper castes. Rajam was reserved for scheduled castes.

So far the party fielded only Kondapalli Srinivas (Turpu Kapu) from Gajapathinagaram Constituency and Cheepurupalli’s candidate is yet to be announced. As Nellimarla, Etcherla, Vizianagaram and Bobbili have gone to upper caste communities due to local political issues, the TDP wanted to cool down the Turpu Kapu community by fielding one of their leaders as an MP candidate. However, the party is unable to find the right candidate within the TDP.
