YSRC faces internal strife over Chittoor assembly ticket

Deccan Chronicle  

Tirupati: The YSR Congress is grappling with internal discord over allocation of Chittoor assembly ticket for the 2024 elections. Fierce competition for the party ticket existed this time between incumbent MLA Arani Srinivasulu and APSRTC vice-chairman Vijayananda Reddy. After the meeting, celebrations erupted among Vijayananda’s supporters in Chittoor town, with his supporters dancing and bursting crackers late into Tuesday night. Political analysts feel that the denial of ticket to a sitting MLA, who won the seat in 2019 with a margin of over 30,000 votes, could seriously undermine the party’s prospects in the coming polls.
