Congress leaders are in a dilemma over choosing a candidate for the
Udayagiri Assembly seat, where a byelection is also on the cards for
the Assembly seat apart from the Parliament election.
Although the Congress got a fillip following the selection of Rajya Sabha member T. Subbarami Red-dy for the Nellore Parlia-ment seat, the party is dillydallying over the candidate for Udayagiri, since any wrong selection will have its impact on vote share to the MP candidate.
As of now, the names of former TD MLA Kambam Vijayarami Reddy, former minister Madala Janakir-am and former ZP chairman P. Chanchalbabu Yad-av are doing the rounds as possible nominees for the Congress.
According to a senior lea-der, most TD cadres and leaders remained with it though Mr Vijayarami Red-dy migrated from it. His failure to bring a single TD leader, where he was a member right from its in-ception has led to reservations over his nomination.
In case of Mr Janakiram, he migrated to the TD from Congress and contested for the Kavali seat against Ms Magunta Parvatamma in 2004. His hip-hopping betw-een the Congress and TD has placed a question mark over his choice.
Although Mr Chanchal-babu Yadav is a Congress loyalist, party leaders consider him a weak candidate. Campaign managers of TSR are in favour of noted industrialist P.V. Prasannakumar Reddy and are putting all their efforts to bring him into the fray.
A close associate and relative of the late Magunta Subbarami Reddy, Mr Prasannakumar Reddy contested for the Nellore Assembly seat unsuccessfully in 1994 against T. Ramesh Reddy. Although he does not stay in Nellore, he ensures that his contacts in the district remain intact.
Recalling that he played a key role from behind the scenes for the success of the late Magunta Subbarami Reddy in politics, sources claim that his presence will benefit party nominees in segments such as Nellore town, rural, Kovur and Kavali since he has a wide network of friends and relatives in these constituencies.
