TDP announces candidates for two Graduate MLC seats in Andhra Pradesh
TDP names Alapati Rajendra Prasad and Perabathula Rajasekhar as candidates for upcoming graduate MLC elections.
AMARAVATI: The Telugu Desam Party has announced its candidates for the upcoming elections to two graduate MLC (Member of Legislative Council) seats in Andhra Pradesh.
Alapati Rajendra Prasad has been named the candidate for the Krishna-Guntur constituency, while Perabathula Rajasekhar has been selected for the East and West Godavari constituencies. The announcement was made by TDP state president Palla Srinivas on Sunday.
Both Rajendra Prasad and Rajasekhar had previously hoped to contest in the 2019 Assembly elections, with Prasad eyeing the Tenali seat and Rajasekhar aiming for the Kakinada Rural seat. However, those constituencies were allocated to the Jana Sena Party as part of an alliance, and the two leaders stepped aside for the sake of party unity.
In recognition of their loyalty and contributions to the party, the TDP leadership has now given them the opportunity to contest as MLC candidates. The upcoming election will be closely watched, as TDP seeks to strengthen its presence in Andhra Pradesh.
