Srikakulam: Jana Sena Party (JSP) may not get seats in Srikakulam as part of its alliance with the TDP in coming elections. In the erstwhile Srikakulam district, total number of Assembly seats are 10 and the TDP announced its candidates for four seats — Itchapuram, Tekkali, Amadalavalasa and Rajam — where there is no intense competition for party tickets. In the remaining six Assembly seats of Palasa, Narasannapeta, Srikakulam, Etcherla, Pathapatnam and Palakonda, a tight competition is being witnessed for tickets. In Palasa, party in-charge Gouthu Sirisha and retired GST officer Juttu Thatha Rao are competing for ticket.
In Narasannapeta, party in-charge and former MLA Baggu Ramana Murthy and a private doctor are making efforts through their sources. In Srikakulam, party in-charge and former MLA Gunda Lakshmidevi and party leader Gondu Sankar are in the race.
For Etcherla seat also there is competition between the party former state president and constituency in-charge Kimidi Kala Venkata Rao and another leader Kalisetti Appala Naidu.
In Pathapatnam, in-charge and former MLA Kalamata Venkata Ramana and the party leader Mamidi Govinda Rao are competing for ticket.
In the Palakonda also the constituency in-charge Nimmaka Jayakrishna and another leader Padala Bhudevi are in the race.
