YSRCP receives support from OC, Muslim communities in Tirupati

As the Tirupati constituency remains divided along community lines amid the ongoing general elections, more social groups join this polarisation and pledge support to their chosen political camps.

After the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance received support from the Balija (Kapu) and Backward Classes (BC) communities last week, the YSR Congress Party’s (YSRCP) suddenly received support from the Other Castes (OC) and Muslims, who openly pledged support to the party.

Tirupati MLA and Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Chairman Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, who is campaigning vigorously in favour of his son and Deputy Mayor Bhumana Abhinay Reddy, along with MP Maddila Gurumoorthy, participated in a meeting organised by leaders of Brahmin, Vysya and Kshatriya communities on Tuesday.
