Jagan Wins Initially, But RRR Finally?

The Undi assembly constituency commands a lot of attention in the Godavari districts with firebrand Raghu Rama Krishna Raju in contention here. There’s a lot riding on this assembly segment as a win here for RRR will mean that he will take on Jagan Mohan Reddy directly in the assembly. Initially, Jagan succeeded in stopping RRR contesting from Narasapuram Loksabha segment, but failed later to stop him to get Undi Assembly. Looks like, RRR is clearly showing his upper hand against Jagan in final race.

Going by the existing trends in Undi, there is an indication of a triangular fight but it is more likely that RRR will emerge victorious.

Telugu Desam has lost Undi only once since 1983 and it is one of biggest mass strongholds for the age-old party. If we pair with TDP’s existing framework and the significant TDP loyalist group here, Undi is being seen as a sureshot seat for RRR and TDP.

YCP fielded PVL Narasimha Raju here and even in Jagan wave in 2019, he lost by 10K+ votes margin. So his chances are strictly limited here, with the already existing anti-incumbency in YCP.

Kalavaludi Siva Rama Raju who fiercely fought for the TDP ticket was taken aback by the party picking RRR and he decided to contest here on behalf of an insignificant All Indian party. Though he might have some personal touch in the constituency, he doesn’t have the party organisation to take on RRR.

RRR is clearly ahead of his counterparts here as he has his personal image paired with TDP’s unrivalled strengths here to make for a winning combination. His win is being seen as a mere formality in Undi. Setting aside the election result, everyone is already discussing about how the faceoff between Jagan and RRR would be like in the AP assembly.
