With all decks being cleared for sitting Congress MP Daggubati Purandeswari's entry into the BJP, sources say it will be like a herculean task for her to win on a BJP MP ticket from Vizag city unless the saffron party enters into a tie up TDP due to several factors including her actual non-local status. Purandareshwari is facing severe criticism from the student community in Seemandhra for not working actively for the interests of Seemandhra during the entire bifurcation exercise and coupled with the perception of she being labeled as an outsider is gaining ground more in recent times. Purandareshwari was reportedly referred to as the 'Spice Jet minister' by many of rivals since she is known for preferring to travel to Vizag by the morning flight and leaving the city taking the evening flight. She had played a key role in the merger of BHPV with BHEL and strived very hard for the revival of the Hindustan Zinc plant. This is including starting of 24/7 services at Vizag's navy controlled airport and made sure there are increased connectivity to other destinations, she is facing criticism for not being accessible since she had never camped in Vizag for more than three days during her 10-year tenure as MP.
