It should be noted that YSRCP is strong in eight assembly segments in Kadapa.It is learnt that the focus of Lokesh would be on the Kadapa Muncipal Corporation and the Kadapa Zilla Parishad members where YSRCP has hold.
Out of 50 corporators in the Kadapa Municipal Corporation, 42 are held by YSRCP. Interestingly, Kadapa deputy mayor Arifullah said he has decided to join the TDP. Talking to media, he said, “Despite being a deputy mayor, I am unable to get even small development work sanctioned in the corporation that has a majority of YSRCP corporators. Hence, I have decided to quit the YSRCP to join the TDP. Many more YSRC corporators are going to follow me in the coming days.”
