Nara Lokesh’s Yuvagalam padayatra is said to have had a significant impact on the district’s politics. Two noteworthy events occurred in the district recently, YSRCP MLA KotamReddy Sridhar Reddy visited his rival Abdul Aziz’s house, and former Municipal and Urban Development Minister Ponguru Narayana visited KotamReddy’s house to invite him to join the TDP.
Ponguru Narayana, who played a prominent role during the previous TDP regime, has re-engaged in Nellore district’s politics. His return involves addressing issues within the TDP in the rural segment and resolving the communal strife between Aziz and KotamReddy in the Nellore Rural Segment.
It is suggested that Narayana may contest as the TDP nominee from the Nellore Urban constituency in the upcoming elections. In the previous election, Narayana lost to Anil Kumar Yadav by a margin of 1,900 votes in the same segment.
The YSRCP government has reportedly targeted Narayana over the past four years, with AP CID filing cases against him, including allegations of irregularities in Amaravathi lands and the paper leak of the 10th class examination.
There is also information indicating that Narayana is shaping the class war within the YSRCP in Nellore City to his advantage.
