Macherla has been one of the stronghold constituencies for YSR Congress over the years and the main man here, Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy has been winning this seat since the last 4 terms.
But this time, a viral video of Pinnelli damaging the EVM by slamming it into the ground has surfaced on social media and it has quickly become a hot topic. TDP is making a meal of it by saying this is a sign that Pinnelli is losing Macherla.
But in reality, Pinnelli is one of the biggest mass leaders in all of Andhra Pradesh. It is no joke that he has been serving as the MLA since the last four terms. This shows the kind of mass appeal that he has with the Macherla segment.
In this context, despite all the outcry of the Telugu Desam outfit and its non-stop crying on the EVM issue, the chances are that Pinnelli will anyway sweep Macherla by a huge margin.
Pinnelli sweeping Macherla for the fifth time in a row despite all the outcry from the TDP camp must be the final nail in the coffin for TDP not just in Macherla but in all of AP as well.
