Parakala Segment has its own significance in Warangal district. TRS had won this segment hardly against Konda Surekha (YSRCP) in 2012 bye-elections. Konda Surekha expects the same segment after she joined in Congress. KCR proposed her candidature from Warangal (East) against Minister Saraiah. Chief Whip Gandra Venkatarami Reddy was tried for his wife but Congress High Command denied giving ticket.
Congress High Command selected Inugala Venkatarami Reddy from Parakala Segment. Internal groups (Gandra Group) stayed away with Inugala in the campaign. Inugala has no relations with this segment except in Atmakur Mandal. It seems that Congress is struggling hard to win this segment. On the other hand TRS dropped it’s sitting MLA Moluguri Bhikshapati and announces Advocate JAC Sahodara Reddy as its Nominee from Parakala. Konda Couple are there behind the selection TRS candidate.
TDP has very strong cadre in the segment. And its nominee Challa Dharma Reddy is building his network around the segment since last few years. Dharma Reddy won around 38k votes in 2012 bye-election. He has very good PR relations with all mandals. TDP is confident on this segment in the district. Sushma Swaraj and Pawan Kalyan recent visit give josh to the BJP and TDP cadre. TRS is hoping on Telangana sentiment and co-operation of Advocate JAC to win this segment.
