Minister Botsa Satyanarayana is a prominent figure in the Vizianagaram district and a strong leader in the BC community. He has a significant influence in Uttarandhra, and it's rumored that his hard work played a crucial role in YCP winning all the seats in Vizianagaram in the 2019 elections. As a result, Botsa is highly valued by Jagan and is considered a key figure in the party.
The reason behind Botsa's continued tenure as minister for five years is also attributed to his hard work and dedication. It is expected that he will play a significant role in the selection of candidates for the upcoming election in the district. In all nine assembly seats and one parliament seat in the district, Botsa's relatives are closely related, and he is expected to give them tickets once again.
This time around, there is also a Botsa family pack, with Botsa expected to contest again from his sitting seat in Cheepurupalli. His wife, Jhansi Rani, is also expected to be a strong contender for the Vizianagaram MP seat. Jhansi previously served as the Zilla Parishad chairperson during Congress's time and won the 2007 by-election as an MP from Bobbili. When Vizianagaram became a parliamentary seat, she won the MP election on behalf of the Congress.
In the 2014 elections, Ashok Gajapathi Raju won in the Telugu Desam Wave, and in 2019, Bellana Chandrasekhar won from the YCP. It is rumored that in the 2024 elections, Bellana will be given an assembly ticket, while Botsa Jhansi will also be fielded as a strong candidate. The Thurpu Kapu community has a significant presence in the Vizianagaram district, and the YCP believes that bringing BCs into the ring in that seat is crucial for victory.
