Nandigama By-Poll: Not a cakewalk for TDP!
X

TDP's attempts to make Nandigama by-polls unanimous failed as Congress and Independent candidates have been in race.

Apparently, Nandigama TDP MLA Tangirala Prabhakar Rao breathed his last after suffering a heart attack soon after the general elections. Hence, EC announced a by-poll will be held in Nandigama next month. CM Chandrababu announce Tangirala Soumya as the party candidate.

TDP requested YSR Congress to stay away from contest as to continue the tradition of supporting the kin of the deceased public representative. So, Jagan obliged the request and kept away from the by-poll.

However, Congress gave a last minute twist by fielding Bodapati Babu Rao as its candidate. Four Independents Katarapu Pullaiah, Barre Srinivasa Rao, Kama Srinivasa Rao and Matangi Pulla Rao too filed nominations.
