JSP is poised to win the upcoming local body elections in Araku and neighboring areas, as the party’s coordination chief predicts a sweeping victory. The shift from YSRCP to the NDA coalition is attributed to improved infrastructure and grassroots outreach.
- JSP shows strong momentum in Araku and surrounding regions.
- YSRCP’s traditional vote bank has shifted toward the NDA.
- Pawan Kalyan’s road‑building initiatives have earned rural support.
Korikana Ravikumar, chairman of the Srikakulam Urban Development Authority and JSP’s local‑body election coordinator, announced on Sunday that the party would deliver spectacular results in the upcoming elections.
He revealed that the first round of talks with alliance partners TDP and BJP had concluded successfully, and that the NDA parties are likely to hold the upper hand in Araku, Saluru, Parvatipuram, Palakonda, and other constituencies where voters are fed up with the YSR Congress Party.
Ravikumar noted that a segment of YSRCP’s traditional vote bank has migrated to the NDA, particularly to JSP, because of the clean administration and development work of the government. He cited the construction of 1,065 km of roads in tribal areas over the last two years as a key factor that has made tribal communities look up to JSP.
The party is keen on encouraging new grassroots leadership, having scrutinized the backgrounds of candidates seeking tickets. He emphasized that candidates must adhere to the party’s high‑command guidelines, with seats to be shared among the three alliance parties based on local strength, community, and political equations.
Political analysts observe that this shift signals a new dynamic in regional politics, where infrastructure and welfare schemes significantly influence voter preferences.
