Uphill task for Purandeswari at Rajampet

Thanks to TDP's behind-the-back machinations, NTR scion Daggubati Purandeswari is fighting an uphill task in Kadapa's Rajampet Lok Sabha constituency.

She was to contest from the coastal region, especially either in Vijayawada or Vizag. But, Chandrababu Naidu has effectively ensured that she gets no chance anywhere in the coastal region. Even the Rajampet constituency was grudgingly offered to her.

As a non-local of Rajampet, Purandeswari is finding the going tough. The response to her is at best lukewarm. One reason is that the people are in no mood to forgive her for doing literally nothing to prevent the bifurcation of the state. The people of Rayalaseema are angry because the region stands to lose heavily due to the bifurcation of the state.

To circumvent this, Purandeswari is taking the name of late NTR and has been seeking the support of the people as she is NTR's daughter. But, most people are countering her as to why she remained a mute spectator when NTR was being dethroned.

The locals say that she too was part of the opportunistic politics and was playing the sentiment card only to garner votes.  As for Purandeswari, it's a last ditch battle which she must either win or sink into political oblivion.
