Internal Turmoil: YCP's Troubles in Addanki?

Sindujaa D N

In the political arena of Prakasham district, gottipati ravikumar stands out as a formidable force, poised for his fifth consecutive victory as MLA. Despite facing relentless pressure and scrutiny from Jagan's camp over the years, Gottipati has remained steadfast in his allegiance to the tdp, even amidst raids on his granite businesses and other challenges.

Jagan's aversion to Gottipati's success is evident, especially considering his track record of targeting leaders who left his party. However, Gottipati's unwavering commitment to the tdp and his consistent electoral triumphs have solidified his position in the assembly circle.


In a strategic move, jagan sought to challenge Gottipati's stronghold in Addanaki, traditionally a kamma seat. However, the sudden disappearance and unavailability of Panem chinna Hanimireddy, the ycp candidate fielded against Gottipati, has raised eyebrows. Hanimireddy's absence from the campaign trail, coupled with reports of discontent within Jagan's camp, indicate internal turmoil and dissatisfaction with his candidacy.


Speculation abounds regarding Hanimireddy's reluctance to contest, with rumours suggesting coercion from YV Subbareddy, who allegedly leveraged business dealings to secure Hanimireddy's candidacy. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Hanimireddy's candidacy, the overwhelming support for Gottipati remains evident, with predictions of a landslide victory surpassing previous margins.


Gottipati's enduring popularity and support base, coupled with the disarray within Jagan's camp, signal a decisive victory for the tdp in Addanki. As the election approaches, the prospect of Gottipati securing a resounding victory, potentially exceeding previous margins, looms large, cementing his status as a dominant political force in Prakasham district.
