Bharatiya Janata Party is ogling to secure significant number of Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 elections from Andhra Pradesh. While the saffron party has deployed political observers, speculations are that Late NTR’s daughter Daggubati Purandeswari will contest for Hindupur Lok Sabha seat.
Hindupur is known to be stronghold for Telugu Desam party and currently is held by Kristappa Nimmala. Purandeswari is reportedly trying to convince the party high command to bless her with the seat, by playing the family card.
It may be noted that NTR, his sons HariKrishna and Balakrishna represented the assembly segment of Hindupur. As per reports, ground work has commenced the constituency. She contested from Rajampet in 2014 elections and lost the elections.
BJP is keenly bidding for the TDP bastion instead of Rajampet and three other constituencies from Rayalaseema region alone. Muralidhar Rao is the observer for the constituency, who is supposed to ensure that the party is strengthened.
