NDA Wins 64 of 65 MPTC Seats in Pulivendula ZPTC Polls
· India · The Hindu, Times of India
NDA candidates won 64 of 65 Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency (MPTC) seats and three of seven Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) seats in Pulivendula constituency on Tuesday. The State Election Commission announced the results as the nomination withdrawal deadline ended. NDA secured a majority of MPTC seats across all six mandals—Pulivendula, Vemula, Chakrayapeta, Thondur, Simhadripuram, and Vempalli. The constituency, a YSR Congress Party family bastion for over four decades, saw former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy visit on the same day results were declared.
Why it matters
The result marks a significant shift in Pulivendula, a family stronghold since Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy's era, with the NDA reducing the YSR Congress to a single MPTC seat. It signals expanding NDA influence in the Rayalaseema region ahead of future state elections.
