Background and Strategies:

YSRCP, under the leadership of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has highlight welfare initiatives and development projects to secure votes from various social groups, particularly the influential Kapu community in regions like Pithapuram and Avanigadda. Vanga Geetha, a seasoned YSRCP politician, is contesting from Pithapuram. She underscores her deep connections with the local populace and her track record of initiating Important development projects, such as set up educational and healthcare institutions.

Conversely, JSP, led by Pawan Kalyan, has formed an alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to bolster their position against YSRCP. Pawan Kalyan has been vocal in his criticisms of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s governance, promising policy changes such as reducing liquor prices if elected. He has highlighted governance issues and infrastructure problems to mobilize support.

Political Tensions and Responses:

The alliance between JSP and TDP has been contentious. YSRCP leaders have criticized Pawan Kalyan and the alliance, questioning his leadership and political strategies. Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu and other YSRCP leaders have labeled Pawan Kalyan’s leadership as ineffective and opportunistic, arguing that his political moves are more about personal ambition than genuine concern for the people.

Community Focus:

Both YSRCP and JSP are working diligently to secure votes from the Kapu community, which makes up a significant portion of the electorate in key regions. The competition is intense, with both parties fielding candidates from this community to maximize their electoral appeal. Despite the alliances and political maneuvering, both parties are addressing the infrastructural and welfare concerns of the electorate to secure their votes.
