FACE OFF: Vijayamma heats up Vizag, BJP candidate got only 17,003 votes in 2009

By SNV Sudhir

Visakhapatnam, April 20, 2014: Vizag is set to witness an interesting fight for the Lok Sabha in the wake of YSRC fielding, a non local, YS Vijayamma and BJP state unit chief Kambhampai Haribabu being pitted against her. TD spared Vizag Lok Sabha seat to BJP as part of poll pact between both the parties.

Though the Jai Samaikyandhra Party (JSP) candidate, Sabbam Hari and Congress nominee Bolisetty Satyanarayana are also in the fray, the fight is expected to be only between Vijayamma and Haribabu. Both Sabbam Hari and Bolisetti Sayanrayana are banking on being ‘local’ plank.

While Vijayamma, who is new to city, is  banking on YSR’s legacy, BJP candidate, Haribabu, who is not so popular among masses, is relying on the general Modi wave prevalent across the country and the TD cadre in Vizag.

 During her first election speech before filing nomination, Vijayamma, here on Thursday, evoked sentiments by  stating that her late husband, YSR, always had a special place in his heart for Vizag, indicating that besides, highlighting local issues, YSR’s ‘special affiliation to city’ will also be a major card she is going to play to woo the voters and win the Vizag seat.

Interestingly Vijayamma, had already hit the roads on the campaign trial from the very next day onwards after she filed nomination, ahead of her opponents. BJP candidate is trailing due to confusion that prevailed for almost 2 days on the poll alliance with TD.  He was busy taking part in the discussions between BJP national leaders and TD men on seats adjustments. Haribabu is expected to launch his campaign, from Monday onwards.

 BJP is not so strong in Vizag and academician turned politician Haribabu is completely depending on Modi wave and TD cadre. BJP candidate never won Vizag Lok Sabha and it was Haribabu in 1999 who won Vizag I assembly segment with the support of TD as part of alliance between both the parties.

TD Vizag Lok Sabha candidate in the last elections, MVVS Murthy, secured third place. BJP Lok Sabha candidate, DV Subba Rao could get very less number of votes in the last elections. He could get only 17,003 votes from all the seven assembly segments coming under Vizag Lok Sabha constituency in 2009 polls.


 It will be interesting to see whether the disgruntled TD cadre who lost Vizag Lok Sabha and Vizag north seats to the saffron party, will extend support to the BJP candidate.

Come 16th may and it will be an open secret that Shabbam Hari will emerge victorius amongt the four cornered fight of BJP, YSRC, CONG & JSP. He is a very honest and influential mass leader with very strong local base and support.
