The most notable quality of tdp nominee Damachrala Janardhan's record as an mla in Ongole is his efforts as a developmentalist. On the other hand, however, five years of alleged chaos and land grabbing have clouded the future of YSRCP candidate Balineni. Over this time, Ongole has been beset by attacks and land grabs involving the son of mla Balineni and his allies.
To handle the widespread land grabs, the government was forced to step in and form a Special Investigation Team (SIT). Furthermore, Balineni finds it uncomfortable that Praneet Reddy, her son, is the subject of accusations of misbehavior, land grabbing, and financial irregularities. Statewide indignation has been sparked by the extensively reported abuse of arya Vaishya community member Subbarao Gupta.
