Leaders of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) in Andhra Pradesh, including Housing Minister Jogi Ramesh and Social Welfare Minister Meruga Nagarjuna, have predicted a political setback for Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Nara Lokesh in the Mangalagiri Assembly constituency. Minister Ramesh criticized Lokesh for contesting in Mangalagiri, highlighting the constituency’s significant Backward Classes (BCs) voter population.
He accused TDP leaders of attempting to manipulate votes through various means and urged the public to be vigilant. The YSRCP leaders emphasized Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s commitment to welfare schemes benefiting BCs, SCs, and STs, contrasting it with the alleged failures of previous leaders. Mangalagiri constituency in-charge Ganji Chiranjeevi asserted the CM’s dedication by allotting the seat to BCs.
