TDP-led alliance has swept the Municipal polls and MPTC and ZPTC elections that were held recently in AP. With almost all the elections including the local body elections wrapped up, TDP-Janasena-BJP combined stood at the top delivering a remarkable victory, leaving opposition YSRCP in the dark. In fact, TDP stormed into Pulivendula and scored a resounding victory giving jitters to YS Jagan.

However, the Municipal election in Nara Lokesh’s Mangalagiri Assembly segment is still due as there was a legal hurdle. Mangalagiri-Tadepalli Municipal Corporation is gearing up for its first-ever mayor election, as the legal issues seem to have resolved and the cord ordered the polls.

With the court’s verdict, the Election Commission has announced the election notification, and the political heat has picked up in Nara Lokesh’s adda. Interestingly, Tadepalli is where YS Jagan’s residence and YSRCP party central office is also located. This makes this Mayor election crucial and interesting.

As of now, TDP and Jana Sena cadres are fully active across all villages in the region. With no major active YSRCP leader in the Mangalagiri region and Nara Lokesh also doing good work after the general elections, the majority of areas appear to be in favour of TDP or NDA.

Yet, Lokesh is not taking things for granted. He has reportedly alerted booth-level leaders and is personally overseeing the candidate selection process. The coming mayor election is now turning into a prestige battle for Nara Lokesh in his own constituency. Let’s wait and see.
