In the 2014 elections, BJP candidate Kambhampati Hari Babu won as Vizag MP and served as the BJP AP chief later.Kambhampati Hari Babu who stood as a strong pillar for the party in Vizag was made Mizoram Governor recently. He assumed the Governor's office earlier on July 7.
In the absence of a strong leader like Hari Babu, a question of who will replace his place in the shore city erupted in the Andhra Pradesh wing of BJP.
Amid this, media reports claim that D Purandeswari might be shifted to the constituency as a bid to strengthen the BJP in Vizag. She earlier served as Vizag Lok Sabha member back in 2009. However, she contested on a Congress ticket and was made a Cabinet Minister.
It has been widely reported that, keeping all this in mind, BJP is likely to send her to Vizag as s prepration for the next elections.As per the media reports, BJP might form an alliance with the TDP for the next elections, like it did for the 2014 elections.
