The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has achieved a significant victory in the Rajam constituency’s ZPTC and MPTC elections. The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) experienced a substantial setback, failing to win any of the four ZPTC segments and securing only four MPTC seats out of a total of 66.
In the Regidi Amadalavalasa ZPTC segment, TDP candidate Palavalasa Pushpavati defeated her closest YSRCP rival, Tankala Prabhavati, by a margin of 10,668 votes. This represents the largest majority recorded across the North Andhra districts, including Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, and Parvatipuram-Manyam.
TDP MLA Kondru Murali Mohan attributed the party’s success to the effective implementation of welfare programs and development projects, which involved an investment of ₹400 crore. He expressed gratitude to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh for their focus on Rajam in recent years.
Mr. Murali Mohan noted that while the YSRCP had won the Rajam Assembly segment in 2014 and 2019, they faced a significant defeat in the 2024 Assembly elections and have now also lost the local body elections. He expressed confidence that the people will continue to support the TDP in the upcoming 2029 general elections.
