2009 AP Assembly Election Results

PRP gets Rail Engine Symbol

Prajarajyam Party (PRP) atlast gets a common symbol, rail engine symbol, for its candidates to contest in the 2009 Assembly Elections and Loksabha Elections. The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Election Commission to give the Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) a common symbol for the forthcoming elections. The PRP will get the rail engine symbol that it opted for.

The MDMK (Desiya Murpu Dravida Kazhagam) of Vijayakanth in Tamil Nadu got the nagara (drum) and the Lok Satta the whistle. The apex court brushed aside objections of the Election Commission that allotting symbols after the election had been notified would be difficult.

Chiranjeevi, who was informed about the order during a campaign stop at Peddapuram in East Godavari district, said, “We believe in God and the judicial system.” Read the rest of this entry »

Congress Pary released the list of party candidates contesting from Andhra Pradesh to 2009 Loksabha elections.  Most of the sitting MPs are constesting again. Some highlights of the list includes, Manda Jagannadam was given nagarkurnool seat, Purandare swari is given visakhapatnam, chittoor to Tippeswamy, Narsapuram to K.Bapiraju, panabaka laxmi to  bapatla, Peddapalli to G.Vivek in place of G. venkataswamy and Nalgonda to G.Sukhender reddy.

Here is the full List:

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the son of AP Chief Minister Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy is contesting as Kadapa MP Candidate for Congress in the coming 2009 Parliament (Loksabha) Elections.

The list of MP Candidates contesting for Congress Party from the state of Andhra Pradesh for 2009 parliament Elections has been released.

Most of the sitting MPs ( Members of parliament) were cleared in the list.  Manda Jagannadam was given nagarkurnool seat, Purandare swari is given visakhapatnam, chittoor to Tippeswamy, Narsapuram to K.Bapiraju, panabaka laxmi to  bapatla, Peddapalli to G.Vivek in place of G. venkataswamy and Nalgonda to G.Sukhender reddy.

Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy’s camp was disappointed as Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, has overlooked the Chief Minister’s objections while selecting candidates from the Lok Sabha seats for Andhra Pradesh.

It is reliably learnt that Sonia Gandhi turned down the candidate list that Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy submitted to her.  Dr Reddy secured approval for these names from the screening committee headed by the Mr Pranab Mukherjee.

Dr Rajasekhar Reddy had proposed fielding the Union minister of state, Ms D. Purandareswari, from Guntur, displacing the sitting MP, Mr Rayapati Sambasiva Rao. He wanted Mr T. Subbarami Reddy, Rajya Sabha member, to contest from Visakhapatnam.

But the Congress CEC, headed by Mrs Sonia Gandhi, decided at the very first instance to not field Rajya Sabha members for the election. With this, Ms Purandareswari is being fielded from Visakhapatnam and Mr Sambasiva Rao gets renomination from Guntur.

Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party once again failed to get a common symbol for 2009 assembly and loksabha elections.

The Praja Rajyam spokesperson, Mr Parakala Prabhakar said in Hyderabad, that the party would move the Supreme Court for the symbol. Mr Parakala Prabhakar said, however, that the party had not received the communication from the Election Commission.

According to sources, the Election Commission  has said that only recognized political parties are eligible for a permanent symbol while registered parties will have to choose from the ”free symbols” available.
