Will Chevella Sentiment Work For The Congress?

Late YS Rajasekhara Reddy converted Chevella into a point of pilgrimage for the Congress. All his yatras, campaigns and other programmes used to begin from Chevella. Chevella to Ichchapuram was the route of his historic Praja Prasthanam. Several Congress leaders too feel that Chevella is a lucky omen for the Congress Party.

However, will Chevella sentiment work this time? There are doubts. There are some Congressmen who feel that Chevella sentiment worked only for YSR and not for the Congress. As long as he was at the helm of affairs Chevella sentiment worked for him Even in 2009, the Congress launched its campaign from Chevella in 2009. But, after his demise, the Congress chose Chevella to launch its campaign again in 2014. But, the party failed miserably and the TRS romped home comfortably and formed the government. This time in 2018, the Congress did not want to launch its campaign from Chevella and yet it lost the elections. Now, ahead of the 2019 general elections, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi is launching his campaign from Chevella again. Chevella MP Konda Visweswara Reddy is taking care of all the arrangements for the meeting. But, the big question is - will Chevella sentiment work for the Congress this time.

The public meeting at Chevella would be held at 4 pm on March 9. Rahul Gandhi will arrive from Karnataka and address the gathering.
