The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) candidate for the Nellore Lok Sabha constituency V. Vijaya Sai Reddy filed his nomination papers for the closely-watched seat on Tuesday.
After participating in multi-faith prayers and seeking blessings from priests at his office, he took out a grand procession to reach the Collectorate, where he formally submitted the papers to the Collector and District Election Officer (DEO) M. Hari Narayanan.
In a bid to combat the Opposition deeming him as an ‘outsider’, the Rajya Sabha member said that it was a boon to get an opportunity to be elected from one’s home soil. He thanked Chief Minister and party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and his wife Y.S. Bharathi Reddy for having faith in him and giving him the opportunity.
