Sibling rivalry to the fore at YS family bastion Pulivendula

The Hindu  

For the last 46 years, the Yeduguru Sandinti or YS clan has held sway over the Pulivendula Assembly constituency, and its grip has not loosened yet; the constituency continues to be considered synonymous with its first family. Taking the fight right to the YS family’s doorstep, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu has coined the slogan, ‘Why not Pulivendula?’, which appears to have caught the attention of the electorate. However, he is not just pitched against the TDP’s Mareddy Ravindranath Reddy, but is also embroiled in a family war: his own sister Y.S. In the first major triangular contest witnessed by Pulivendula, ‘B.Tech’ Ravi scored just 11,239 votes, a steep fall from the 34,875 polled by the then-TDP candidate Satish Kumar Reddy in 2009. To counter B.Tech Ravi’s emergence as a strong contender, the CM has strategically brought his predecessor Satish Kumar Reddy into the YSRCP fold, in an apparent bid to loosen the TDP’s growing propsects.
