Devarakonda Sujatha, corporator of 53rd division, was unanimously elected as the new mayor of Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Thursday. However, YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) members were absent from the council meeting.
As the meeting began under the chairmanship of presiding officer and joint collector Mogili Venkateswarlu, Devarakonda Sujatha’s name was proposed as the mayoral candidate by mayor-in-charge Roop Kumar Yadav and other Telugu Desam Party (TDP) members seconded him.
After that, Ms. Sujatha was unanimously elected to the post. The Chairperson officially announced her name as NMC Mayor due to lack of competition. Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, NMC Commissioner YO Nandan and others were present on the occasion.
