In a surprising move, the ruling YSRC party announced Gumma Thanuja Rani as its candidate for the Araku parliamentary constituency, the only tribal segment in Andhra Pradesh. The decision to replace the previously nominated candidate reflects the party's efforts to address dissatisfaction among locals and strengthen its position in the region.
The selection of Thanuja Rani marks the second change in candidate selection for the Araku constituency, highlighting the party's commitment to fielding candidates who resonate with the local population. Earlier, MLA Bhagyalakshmi's candidature faced criticism, with locals expressing concerns about her perceived favoritism towards non-tribals.
Thanuja Rani's candidacy brings a unique blend of qualifications and local ties. With a background as a medical officer in the ASR District Medical and Health Office in Paderu, she possesses firsthand experience in addressing healthcare needs in the region. Additionally, her familial connections, including her status as the daughter-in-law of Araku MLA Chetti Palguna, provide her with a strong foundation within the community.
Chetti Palguna expressed his satisfaction with Thanuja Rani's nomination, highlighting the significance of her candidacy for the constituency. Despite being denied the opportunity to contest for the Araku assembly seat for a second time, he expressed pride in his daughter-in-law's candidacy for the parliamentary seat.
However, Thanuja Rani may face formidable competition in the upcoming election. Former Araku MP Kothapalli Geetha is rumored to enter the fray as the BJP-Sena-TD candidate, posing a challenge to the YSRC's electoral prospects in the constituency.
As the election season unfolds, the dynamics of the Araku parliamentary race are likely to attract significant attention, with both major parties vying for dominance in this crucial tribal segment of Andhra Pradesh.
