CM Jaganmohan Reddy, aiming to announce the YSRCP candidates in advance and swiftly enter the campaign period, wants to leave no chance for opposition parties and has dealt with the latest developments.
MLAs who did not receive tickets are expressing discontent and preparing for revolt.
Some are turning towards TDP, Jana Sena, and Congress. Jagan is now focused on preventing this migration.
Recent developments suggest that the candidate selection process is expected to continue until the end to avoid hasty decisions.
For many years, MLAs were not allowed to enter the shadows of Tadepalli Palace.
In the first round, Jagan announced 11 candidates, followed by the announcement of 27 Assembly in-charges and three Lok Sabha in-charges in the second round.
It is now understood that they believe announcing candidates now may lead to exploring alternatives, risking the election.
Although CM Jagan has repeatedly stated that Machilipatnam should contest for the Lok Sabha, Penamalur MLA and former minister Kolusu Parthasarathy disagrees.
He informed the Chief Minister on Monday that he will not contest anywhere else except Penamaluru.
On Tuesday, MP Ayodhya Ramireddy had a lengthy discussion with Parthasarathi, but it was futile.
The Chief Minister attempted to pacify Vijayawada Central MLA Malladi Vishnu, who became upset when his seat was allotted to Vijayawada West MLA and former minister Velampally Srinivas.
Vishnu prepared to resign with his followers. Jagan sent Ayodhya Rami Reddy and called Vishnu, along with Velampalli, for a discussion.
It is reported that Jagan has instructed regional coordinators to ensure that news of Rayadurgam MLA Kapu Ramachandra Reddy joining the Congress does not leak.
