Chandragiri, was the home constituency of TDP Chandrababu Naidu for along time till he switched over to Kuppam in the same Chittoor district. His entry into Congress and his growth as minister in early 80s was facilitated by Chengalraya Naidu, father of Galla Arun Kumar,a veteran Congress leader.
Galla Jayadev who promptly won Lok Sabha seat from Guntur.
Naidu considers him as his guru and as part of that understanding, he facilitated the entry of Galla Aruna Kumari, who was also a minister during YSR rule to encash the disappearance of Congress party in AP.The deal involved a ticket to her son-in-law Galla Jayadev who promptly won Lok Sabha seat from Guntur.
YSRCP’s Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy in Chandragiri
She was defeated by YSRCP’s Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy in Chandragiri during 2014 elections and since then she had been harping on to get atleast a MLC nomination. With growing pressure from those who stayed with TDP for a long time, Naidu seems to have declined her candidature for upcoming MLC elections.
Aruna say she has worked hard for TDP
This lady who is reportedly very much upset revealed to cadre during a meeting that Naidu is not giving prominence to people who have worked hard for the party. The cadre here are reportedly joking among themselves that coming from Congress just one and half year back, itis amusing to see Aruna say she has worked hard for TDP and she is being neglected. They say already there is a long queue of people who devoted life for TDP and what about them?
