He expressed confidence that the opinions of those who had opposed such reforms in the past could change in the present political environment.Referring to the proposed delimitation of constituencies, Naidu observed that Andhra Pradesh could face challenges whether the exercise is based on the 2011 Census or the latest population figures. However, he maintained that no state would suffer if the existing number of seats were increased by 50%. According to him, the Centre is determined to move forward on both the women’s reservation and constituency reorganisation measures.The chief minister also launched a sharp attack on the former CM YS Jagan’s family and the YSR Congress Party.

Leaders including Varla Ramaiah, Kambhampati Rammohan Rao and Reddappagari Srinivasa Reddy reportedly urged the TDP chief to consider them for upcoming Rajya Sabha opportunities.You Can Also Check: Gold Rate in Vijayawada | Silver Rate in Vijayawada | Bank Holidays in Vijayawada | Public Holidays in Vijayawada | Petrol Price in Vijayawada | Diesel Price in Vijayawada | CNG Price in Vijayawada | LPG Price in Vijayawada
