VIjayawada Lok Sabha TDP Candidate Kesneni Nani Face to Face on YSCP Leader PVP
The Vijayawada constituency in Andhra Pradesh is all set to witness a fight between two business tycoons, one from the ruling TDP and the other from the YSRCP, in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. The present MP, Kesineni Srinivas aka Nani, contested on a TDP ticket in 2014 and won with a landslide margin of 74,714 votes, defeating Koneru Rajendra Prasad of the YSRCP. Seeking re-election, this time Kesineni will be going up against YSRCP candidate Potluri Vara Prasad, industrialist-owner of PVP Ventures.Vijayawada, which was a Congress bastion until the TDP came into the picture in 1984, has a huge presence of Kammas. Most MPs who have won from the constituency have been from the Kamma community, irrespective of which party they contested for.Vijayawada has seen one independent MP, 11 Congress MPs and 4 TDP MPs, including Kesineni. It is noteworthy that in the 10 Lok Sabha elections held since 1980, every MP has come from the Kamma community. Of the 10 MPs, four candidates have won twice, and two of them have once, including incumbent Kesineni. Ten out of 16 MPs being elected from the Kamma community shows the significance of the caste factor in the constituency. Potluri Vara Prasad, going up against Kesineni, is also from the Kamma community.To be re-elected, Kesineni is banking on the development activities he carried out during his tenure. He recently claimed that he has spent over Rs 7,000 crores for development activities. He said that works pertaining to the airport development, Benz circle, Kanakadurga flyover, the renovation of multi-speciality hospitals and the Vijayawada-Machilipatnam four-lane road are underway or are almost completed.
Furthermore, he declared that this time he expected to win with a majority of 3 lakh votes.
However, those on the ground claim he did not fulfil his promises. Tangirala Sony, an activist based in Nandigama, said, “Drinking water is the main problem in this area. Pakka houses were promised for the underprivileged but it has not been fulfilled. Few villages on riverbanks such as Atukuru, Chevitipally, Moguluru and Padavatikallu have seen some development.”
