The recent announcement of the first list of candidates by TDP and Janasena brought both clarity and criticism. While it clarified Janasena’s seat allocation, it faced severe backlash from supporters and the public for the limited number of seats.
Expectations were high for Janasena to secure at least 30 seats due to its previous strong voter turnout. However, the reality fell short as they were allocated only 24 seats, causing disappointment among party members and supporters alike.
This disappointment escalated as many aspiring candidates, like Patamsetti Suryachandra, were denied tickets, leading to frustration and protests. Suryachandra, hopeful for the Jaggampeta ticket, was shocked to see it given to another candidate. In protest, he resorted to a hunger strike, displaying his determination to contest.
Suryachandra’s emotional reaction, shedding tears upon learning of his denied ticket, underscores the intensity of the situation. Determined to contest, he considers exploring other political options, possibly including joining the ruling YSRCP as a last resort.
