Congress has its traditional vote bank of Schedule Caste (SC) and Minority that helps to the party to bailout in General Elections. Everyone knows that entire Congress vote bank shifted to YSRCP in 2014 elections in Andhra Pradesh. TDP don't have Muslim MLA and very few SC/ST MLAs won in 2014 elections. YSRCP showed its prowess SC/ST votes in Tribal Assembly segments like Araku, Paderu and Rampachodavaram. YSRCP manage to win Tirupati and Araku reserved MP segments also with SC/ST votes.
Puthalapattu MLA Sunil episode viral in Social Media. He has waiting with family members before Lotus Pond gate for Jagan's appointment since four days. YSRCP senior leaders Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy and Tirupati MP Prasad went to Lotus Pond to meet Jagan but security guards restrict Sunil and his family members. Sunil expressed his discontent with all tears over Jagan. As per buzz, Peddireddy has recommended Padmaja for Puthalapattu segment.
On the other hand, Amalapuram TDP MP Pandula Ravindra Babu who joined in YSRCP last week is in thought of back to TDP. As per buzz, Jagan who gave assurance on P.Gannavaram Assembly segment at the time of joining is denying the same to Ravindra Babu. Further Ravindra Babu get in touch with TDP leaders. These two episodes don't create any added advantage to YSRCP. In addition to that, TDP would trying to expose YSRCP attitude towards SC/ST community. CBN has managed arch rivals and kept them quiet within the party but Jagan didn't do that and took them in light manner which don't help to the party before elections.
