Among the 12 star campaigners from a commoner background, four are former volunteers, who were restricted by ECI to not work for any party while on-duty.
YSRCP has submitted a list of 37 campaigners for the AP elections on 13 May. A dozen of them are “commoners”, beneficiaries of YSRCP government’s policies. Two are farmers, four homemakers, there’s an auto driver, a tailor and four are former volunteers. The decision syncs with Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s earlier call for beneficiaries to support him.
