Former Union Minister Daggubati Purandeswari unsuccessfully contested from Rajampet Lok Sabha segment on BJP ticket in 2014. She faced defeat by a huge margin while contesting against YCP Candidate Mithun Reddy.
With the present situation in AP not in favour of BJP, Purandeswari seems to be reluctant to take the risk of contesting from a Parliament Segment in next elections. Instead, She might try her luck in an Assembly Constituency.
If the buzz is true, Purandeswari is preferring Tekkali Assembly Segment in 2019 Polls. What could be the reason for choosing Srikakulam district? NT Rama Rao earned a permanent place in the hearts of people here.
Minister Atchannaidu is representing Tekkali constituency at present. This first time Minister has developed this constituency in the past four years and the segment is also a strong hold of Kinjarapu Family. So, It won't be a cake walk for Purandeswari for sure but she seems to be banking heavily on NTR sentiment.
