Memanta Siddham

Touching 21 districts and 148 Assembly constituencies, Jagan’s bus tour will start from Idupulupaya and culminate in the North Andhra region, at the state’s eastern extremity.

The “Memanta Siddham” bus tour is a move to enable Jagan to interact directly with people as well as participate in public meetings.

The first day of the tour on Wednesday will begin with Jagan garlanding the statue of his father and former CM YS Rajasekhar Reddy at YSR Ghat in Idupulupaya, located in Pulivendula constituency, of which he is the sitting MLA.

Later, the bus tour will traverse through the villages of Vempalli, VN Palli, Yerraguntla, Potladutti and Proddatur town in the constituencies of Kamalapuram, Jammalamadugu and Proddatur.

After a public meeting at Proddatur bypass road, Reddy will end the first day with a night halt at Allagadda in Nandyala district.

On the second day, Reddy’s bus tour will go to the Nandyala Parliamentary constituency; on the third day, it will be in the Kurnool Lok Sabha constituency.

First phase to focus on Rayalaseema

In the first phase, the bus tour will focus on the Rayalaseema region, covering the six districts of Kadapa, Kurnool, Annamayya, Tirupati and Chittoor.

The ruling party has decided to organise election meetings throughout the bus tour everyday to send out a message that “YSRCP is ready in every Parliament constituency and every district.”

Further, YSRCP has decided to organise meetings in at least two Assembly segments of a Parliament constituency during the tour.

Reddy will spend time with people and stay overnight in those places.

The tour will touch all the Parliamentary constituencies in the state on a district-wise basis, except those which recently hosted the massive Siddham (ready) election campaign meetings.

Before the election schedule was announced, the YSRCP chief addressed four massive Siddham poll campaign meetings at Bheemili, Eluru, Anantapur and Medarametla, which were attended by lakhs of supporters.

On Tuesday, 26 March, Reddy announced the name of YSRCP’s Anakapalli Lok Sabha candidate, which was the last one for the Parliament polls this year. Meanwhile, TDP and Janasena are yet to declare the names of a few more of their candidates.

BJP announced the names of all its six Lok Sabha contestants while the announcement of its 10 Assembly candidates is still pending.
