YS Jagan Mohan Reddy
Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and YSRCP president
“Our candidate should be there in the contest for people to decide, and many of them are convinced that they were flawed in the previous elections. We have to field strong candidates who can scrape through the elections and make the most of the announcement of elections to local bodies. We will not tolerate unanimous elections, and MLA aspirants should work hard to ensure the contest and victory of our candidate”
