Even as the ruling YSR Congress is close to reaching the half-way mark by winning 22 out of 50 divisions unanimously, the BJP and Jana Sena alliance is sweating out to leave an indelible impression in the temple city in the civic polls.
As the BJP-led alliance is gearing up to stake claim to the ensuing by-election to the Tirupati Lok Sabha seat, winning many divisions in the civic body is quite pertinent ahead of making a mark in the larger political canvas. Though the alliance has fielded candidates only in nine of the fifty divisions, the contest is quite close with the ruling party. The cadre is already campaigning across the nine wards to ensure the victory of their candidates. The major advantage that the alliance claims to be in its favour is that all the candidates are either local to the ward or native residents of the old town, making the voters relate to them easily.

At a media conference here on Wednesday, party spokespersons G. Bhanuprakash Reddy and Samanchi Srinivas questioned the rationale behind the TTD’s decision to allow the devotees in large numbers on the porous forest route without any security check or scrutiny.
