It appears AP Chief Minister and YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is laying special focus on winning both the Godavari districts in the upcoming 2023 elections. He is said to be planning to ensure that the party wins all the seats in the two districts. He is also said to be contemplating to announce the candidates well in advance so that they get adequate time to build their campaign.

In all the constituencies of the two districts he is said to be taking stock of the situation on various issues, including the implementation of the welfare schemes, disbursal of welfare benefits and other schemes. He is also said to be putting special focus on the four seats in East Godavari that the party could not win in the 2019 assembly elections.

The party had lost the two seats in Rajahmundry city and Mandapeta. These constituencies were won by TDP candidates Butchaiah Chowdary, Adireddy Bhavani and Vegulla Jogeswara Rao. He has given the responsibility of Rajahmundry to sitting YSRCP MP Margani Bharat. Similarly, four-time MLA from Ramachandrapuram Thota Trimurthulu has been given the responsibility of Mandapeta.

Sources say that YS Jagan is likely to stick to the social engineering principle that gave him a stupendous success in the 2019 elections. He is said to be planning for a situation where both the TDP and the Jana Sena could team up against the YSRCP. He is said to be planning some more surprise moves for the twin Godavari districts.
