“I am very familiar in Visakhapatnam and will be contesting from here,” he said.

Union Minister D Purandeswari is the sitting MP from Viskahapatnam. There was some rupture recently on protocol issue and she had to cancel her programme. Local leaders had leveled some allegations against her. “Purandeswari will shift to Narsapuram” Subbarami Reddy said when asked what happens to the incumbent MP. He contested for the Nellore Lok Sabha by-poll and lost badly. When Congress could not find anyone to fight against M Rajmohan Reddy of YSRCP, Subbarmi Reddy stood for Congress knowing that he was swimming against the tide. As a reward he was assured of Visakhapatnam seat.

Both Purandeshwari and Subbari Reddy are non locals and Visakhpatnam is known for being represented by outsiders.Before Purandeswari, former chief minister N Janardhan Reddy was the MP. He was moved upstairs to accommodate Purandeswari, whose Bapatla constituency was allotted to SCs in the delimitation process.

Talking to reporters in the Assembly premises, revanth reddy alleged irregularities in the power purchase deals by the Congress Government in the State. He demanded that the State Government must disclose all the details of power purchased from other States and enquire into the matter. He alleged that Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was proving to be a real heir of his predecessor Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy in continuing the culture of corruption.

revanth reddy also alleged that the Congress party lacks proper leadership and the on-going efforts by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi to lure Congress MPs were a proof for the same. He said Congress party’s lack of clarity on Telangana issue was responsible for instability in the region.
