2009 AP Assembly Election Results

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.
