YSRCP MLAs and MPs not getting tickets in 2024 will get nominated posts, says Midhun Reddy

YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Godavari regional coordinator and MP P.V. Midhun Reddy has said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had assured that ‘nominated posts’ would be given to the MLAs and MPs who would not get tickets for the 2024 elections.

“Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy will take the final call on allotting tickets to the sitting MLAs and MPs for the next Assembly elections based on their performance. This applies to every MLA and MP. However, those who do not get the ticket would be guaranteed a nominated post,” Mr. Midhun Reddy said while addressing the media here on July 9 (Sunday).   

“In the next elections, more candidates representing Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Backward Classes will be given the opportunity,” he said. 

Referring to YSRCP MLC Ananta Udaya Bhaskar’s association with the party, Mr. Mithun Reddy said, “Mr. Udaya Bhaskar has already been suspended from the party. However, he is an accused in the case pertaining to the murder of a Dalit youth. He has not been convicted yet.”  

On Jana Sena Party president’s Varahi Yatra, Mr. Midhun Reddy said that Mr. Pawan Kalyan was striving to gain support from the Kapu vote bank.
