By: Tupaki Desk | 15 March 2021 3:27 AM GMT
The TDP plans to whip up anti-YSRCP mood in the name of Visakha Steel Plant seem to have fallen flat. The YSRCP has registered a very impressive victory. In all the areas that are close to the Vizag Steel Plant, the TDP was routed. The TDP could salvage some prestige only in the wards from the outskirts region.
The TDP had launched a massive campaign against the YSRCP saying that chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had met the representatives from Posco company, which is now planning to take over the steel plant. The party also tried to show the YSRCP as a party that has agreed to the sellout. However, in all the wards that abut the steel plant, the YSRCP did exceedingly well. The YSRCP had won 55 seats, while the TDP had won 29, Jana Sena four and others six.
Total political inactivity of key TDP MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao is said to be one of the main reasons for the TDP rout.Over all, it became clear that the issue of steel plant privatization had no impact over the electoral outcome. The YSRCP had won a clear victory.
