Even before the election bell rings in the state, the fight for Vizag parliament seat begins between MP T. Subbi Rami Reddy (TSR) and union Minister D.Purandeswari. Both claims on Vizag seat with different reasons. While, TSR claims that he has assurance from party high command (while contesting bye elections held in Nellore in the last year), Purandeswari asks why should she vacate her seat for others? TSR has suggested her to contest from Narasarao peta and leave Vizag seat to him.

But, in an interview given to ABN news he rejected the reports. He said he has never asked her to shift to Narasarao Peta or some other constituency, but just said that he is seeking re-election from Vizag. However, he said it is up to party high command to decide to whom the Vizag seat to allot and he will obey the party order. However, he said he had some secret pact with party high command in this regard, which he can’t disclose to media.

When asked about probability of mid-term polls, he said it depends on the SP and BSP parties’ decision. If they withdraw their support to the government mid-term polls are inevitable for UPA government, said TSR.
