Apart from Kuppam and Pulivendula, Tekkali is another Assembly constituency where the stakes are at their peak. It is about to witness key opposition leader and sitting MLA K. Atchannaidu vying with sitting MLC of the ruling party, Duvvada Srinivas. Apart from promising a keen contest, the election poses a do-or-die situation for these two candidates.
Tekkali Assembly constituency has been a stronghold of the TDP and was once represented by the TDP founder and former Chief Minister N.T. Ramarao in the 1994 assembly elections.
The ruling YSRCP is making every effort to defeat Tekkali MLA and TDP state president K. Atchannaidu in the upcoming Assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh.
