Right before the election season, former minister Gummanur Jayram who was highly valued by CM Jagan switched loyalties and joined Telugu Desam. He was then given the Guntakal MLA ticket by TDP.
However, this move is only going to backfire big time as the local YCP candidate Y Venkatarama Reddy is too hot to handle for Gummanur who doesn't have adequate cadres locally.
YSRCP candidate Venkatarama Reddy currently serves as the MLA of the segment. Known for his charitable work, he has earned a positive image in the segment. His victory with nearly a 50K margin demonstrates his authority.
With strong grassroots connections and active engagement on the ground, he stands by the party cadre, supporting them during tough times. The robust YSRCP vote bank remains intact and strongly supports his candidacy.
