At a media conference here, Mr. Satish, who is also the city Congress president and hails from the Turpu Kapu community, which has a sizeable presence the constituency, thanked the party State president Y.S. Sharmila Reddy for encouraging leaders of backward classes in the district. “The TDP and the YSRCP have mostly fielded upper caste leaders from the constituency while ignoring backward classes such as Turpu Kapu, Yadava, and Velama. I am hopeful that people will vote for the Congress in the ensuing elections,” he said.
