Gadikota Srikanth Reddy is one of the biggest names in the Kadap segment as his following in the Rayachoti region is unparalleled.
Srikanth Reddy boasts perfect grassroots connections and closely associates with Jagan, eliminating any internal rivalry within the party. He is accessible to everyone and Rayachoti is considered a fortress for the YSRCP. Srikanth Reddy has never received less than a 10% majority in the last four elections. There was a time when he won by over 50,000 votes.
Despite facing anti-incumbency due to winning four times in a row, his exceptional poll management skills are expected to contribute to his victory.
Mandipalli Ramprasad Reddy carries the weight of his family name and legacy, as his family members have been in politics for three decades.
While he is potentially financially strong enough to contend as a TDP candidate, it may not be sufficient to defeat the YSRCP here. If anything, Srikanth Reddy might set non-Jagan majority in Andhra Pradesh this time.
