YSRCP wins key ZPTC seats in Salur

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) won the ZPTC seats for Salur and Makkuva, which are part of the Salur Assembly segment represented by Tribal Welfare Minister Gummadi Sandhya Rani.

YSRCP candidate Dandi Anantakumari got 14,335 votes and TDP candidate Appikonda Ramadevi got 14,270 votes. As the winning margin was only 65 votes, the TDP operatives asked for a recount, after which the YSRCP leader got equal votes and was declared elected.

In the Makkuva Assembly segment, YSRCP candidate Marri Paramma defeated her closest TDP rival S. Seethamma by securing 701 votes.

YSRCP won 13 constituencies out of 32 in the Salur municipal elections. TDP was restricted to 11 wards and JSP won four seats. JSP chairman candidate Gorle Vijaya Kumari defeated YSRCP candidate Ribka Rani by a narrow margin in the municipal elections.

Former Deputy Chief Minister Peedika Rajanna Dora congratulated the newly elected members of ZPTC and MPTC and said that YSRCP will gain more strength for the 2029 assembly elections. In Parvatipuram-Manyam district, YSRCP put up a tough fight and won several seats of ZPTC and MPTC.
