NDA dominates rural local polls in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts

Majji Siri Sahasra, who won the Terlam ZPTC seat, presents a bouquet to Bobbili MLA Baby Nayana in Vizianagaram district on Saturday.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and its alliance partners continued their winning streak in Vizianagaram and Srikakulam districts in the rural local body elections held on Saturday. The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), which suffered a setback in the municipal body elections, performed relatively better, winning a significant number of seats in several mandals. However, the ruling NDA alliance secured more than 70% of the ZPTC and MPTC seats in these two districts.

In Vizianagaram district, the TDP and its alliance partners won a majority of the 27 ZPTC seats. The NDA secured around 300 of the MPTC’s 438 seats, while the YSRCP won around 80.

The ruling alliance registered landslide victories in Rajam, Bobbili, Gajapathinagaram and several other assembly constituencies, winning more than 90% seats in some segments.

The TDP has already unanimously secured eight MPTC seats in the Rajam Assembly constituency, dealing a blow to the YSRCP even before the polls. Rajam MLA Kondru Murali felicitated the newly elected members of ZPTC and MPTC in Rajam on Saturday evening.

Siri Sahasra, daughter of former Zilla Parishad chairman Majji Srinivasa Rao, won from Terlam mandal, which falls under Bobbili Assembly constituency. TDP MLA Baby Nayana felicitated her and other newly elected local body representatives at his office in Bobbili Fort.

“TDP has done exceptionally well in Bobbili Assembly constituency as well as in the previous elections, despite YSRCP winning majority of seats in 2021. People have once again put their faith in the Chandrababu Naidu government,” Mr Baby Nayana told the media.

In Srikakulam district too, the TDP and its alliance partners maintained their winning streak in the rural local body elections. The NDA secured a majority of the 30 ZPTC seats and won about 400 of the 523 MPTC seats in the district.
