Byreddy Siddharth Reddy To Get Ticket This Time?

Byreddy Siddharth Reddy was portrayed as a firebrand by YSR Congress before 2019. He tried to attract youth with his oratory skills. That worked well during that time in Jagan’s wave.

After 2019, his popularity was also on a decline along with the increasing anti-incumbency.

Byreddy hails from the Nandikotkur constituency which is SC reserved.

He has been given a nominated post but the young leader is unhappy. Siddharth Reddy wants to shift to Panyam in 2024.

Jagan is trying to accommodate the seat for him.

Panyam is a stronghold of Congress previously and YSR Congress now.

TDP managed to win only twice (1983 and 1989) in the constituency since its inception.

Katasani Ramabhupal Reddy won six times here and the sitting MLA now. Jagan wants to shift Katasani to Nandhyala MP in 2024 and give Panyam seat to Byreddy.

Katasani, however, wants Panyam for his son, Katasani Narasimha Reddy.

Locals say that fielding a political novice like Byreddy against the Gouru family of TDP in a faction-ridden constituency is a big risk.
