YSRCP Readied Woman Candidate Against Balayya In Hindupur?

Update: 2023-07-05 12:07 GMT
The ruling YSRCP has been saying that it will win all the 175 seats in the next elections and it is taking measures for this. The party leadership is putting more focus on the strong fortress of TDP. Kuppam is one such seat that YCP wants to win. The seat is represented by TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu.

Now it appears that YCP is also focusing on Hindupur which is represented by Nandamuri Balakrishna. The party leadership appointed a new coordinator for the constituency. A woman was appointed as the incharge of the Hindupur Assembly constituency. This move raised many eyeballs. YSRCP women leader TN Deepika was appointed as the Coordinator for Hindupur.

The new appointment also started a debate on whether the woman candidate would contest the elections against Balakrishna. There is a trend in Andhra Pradesh politics where the in-charges of the constituencies are announced the candidates for the elections. So there is a possibility.

 Hindupur has also been a strong fortress of the Telugu Desam Party since its inception. Party founder Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao contested his maiden elections in 1983 and the next two elections as well from there. In the three elections, the party won the seat making it a strong area for the grand old party.

To give an example of how TDP owns the Hindupur constituency, no matter who contests the elections from there on the party ticket would win. After NTR, Nandamuri Hari Krishna won the elections from there. The likes of CC Ramudu, Ranga Nayakulu, and Abdul Ghani won the elections. Even in the Congress party's wave, the party won the seat in the combined state.

The legacy of Hindupur is also being continued to date. Actor-turned-politician Nandamuri Balakrishna won the 2014 and 2019 elections from Hindupur. He wants to achieve a hattrick there. Voters have a special bonding with Balakrishna and it might not be a big task for him to win the elections.

Amid this, YSRCP surprised many by announcing TN Deepika as the coordinator for the constituency. Naveen Nischal and Mohammed Iqbal tried their luck in the 2014 and 2019 elections respectively. But they could not get a positive outcome. Usually, we see parties giving tickets to candidates who are experienced.

But the party leadership surprised many by appointing TN Deepika as the coordinator of Hindupur. It is said that she has the backing of Minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy and Naveen Nischal and Mohammed Iqbal have a negative image reportedly.
