Former Chief Minister and the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday welcomed prominent Kakinada medical specialist Dr. Kada Venkataramana and his family into the party at its central office.
Dr. Venkataramana’s wife, Kada Satyasri, is the YSRCP candidate for the Kakinada Mayor's post.
Former MLA Dwarampudi Chandrasekhar Reddy and former Ministers Kurasala Kannababu and Chelluboyina Venugopalakrishna were present. Mr. Jagan also announced the selection of Pedabayalu ZPTC member Vantala Shanthi, belonging to the Scheduled Tribe Kodu community, as Zilla Parishad chairperson of Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district, and Paderu ZPTC member Sidari Rambabu, from the Kondadora community, as vice-chairperson.
Araku MLA Regam Matsyalingam said that the selections reflected the party's commitment to equitable representation. MP Gumma Tanuja Rani, former Minister Gudivada Amarnath, MLC Kumbha Ravi and Paderu MLA M. Visweswara Raju attended.
Newly elected Naidupeta Municipal chairperson Tambireddy Rajeswaramma met Mr. Jagan and briefed him on the alleged electoral irregularities and developments at counting centres.
Nandikotkur Municipal Chairperson Shaik Fathima Bee also alleged that Telugu Desam Partu (TDP) leaders had attempted to manipulate counting and declare her defeated.
Congratulating both chairpersons, Mr. Jagan urged them to remain accessible to people, address public grievances and focus on municipal development.
