Amaravati: Finally, the BJP has announced its quota of 10 seats for the Assembly constituencies where it is contesting under the election alliance with the TDP and Jana Sena.

It may be noted that it already has candidates for six Lok Sabha seats. Likewise in the Lok Sabha candidates’ selection, some surprises are in the Assembly candidates.

As per the list, Kamineni Srinivas (Kaikaluru), PV Pardhasaradhi (Adhoni), N Eshwara Rao (Echerla), Satya Kumar (Dharmavaram), Sivakrishnam Raju (Anaparthi), Y Sujana Chowdary (Vijayawada West), P Vishnukumar Raju (Vishaka North), P Raja Rao (Araku valley), C Adinarayana Reddy (Jammalamadugu), B Roshan (Badwel).    

Surprisingly, the PV Pardhasaradhi (Adhoni), N Eshwara Rao (Echerla), Sivakrishnam Raju (Anaparthi), P Raja Rao (Araku valley) and B Roshan (Badwel) secured seats without any expectations.

Actually, the TDP has strong candidates in Kala Venkata Rao (Echerla), N Ramakrishna Reddy in Anaparthi, Donthu Dora in Araku. Similarly strong aspirants are in Adoni and Badwel assembly segments compared to the candidates in the BJP’s list. TDP former MLA Varadapuram is a strong candidate in the Dharmavaram Assembly. He is in the BJP at present. He is a better candidate to compare with any party.
