Alleging that YSRCP Minister Ambati Rambabu failed to develop and address the persisting problems of people in the Sattenapalli Assembly constituency for the past five years, TDP candidate and former Minister Kanna Lakshminarayana has assured that he would solve the irrigation and drinking water problem in the constituency and develop it.
Mr. Lakshminarayana, a five-time MLA, was elected four times from Pedakurapadu and once from Guntur West during his stint in Congress. Before joining the TDP, he also served as the president of the Andhra Pradesh BJP unit. Now, he is contesting from Sattenapalli against a two-time MLA Mr. Rambabu.
Speaking to The Hindu during his campaign, Mr. Lakshminarayana recalled that when he was MLA from the adjacent Pedakurapadu Assembly constituency, he constructed lift irrigation projects, check dams, and others for the benefit of the farmers there.
