After NDA submits no-confidence notice against Visakhapatnam Mayor, YSRCP shifts the party corporators to Karnataka
After the NDA corporators submitting the no-confidence motion notice against Mayor (YSRCP) Golagani Hari Venkata Kumari, the political drama in the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) council has taken another interesting turn, with about 30 to 35 YSRCP corporators reportedly leaving for Karnataka, for a camp.
The senior leaders of the YSRCP have reportedly taken the decision to protect their corporators from poaching.
As per the sources from the NDA corporators, as of now, they have support of about 60 corporators, apart from around 12 ex-officio members.
“We already have strength of over 70 , including ex-officio members, which is enough to win the no-confidence motion. In the next few days, a few more YSRCP corporators will be joining the NDA,” a TDP corporator said.
Recently, the YSRCP leaders led by Uttarandhra Regional Coordinator Kurasala Kannababu conducted a meeting with the party corporators and discussed a strategy. The YSRCP leaders alleged that the NDA leaders are threatening the party corporators to join them.
Speaking to the media at the GVMC office, Jana Sena Party (JSP) corporator P.L.V.N. Murthy and TDP corporator Palla Srinivasa Rao denied the allegations of the YSRCP leaders. Mr. Murthy said that several YSRCP corporators themselves have expressed displeasure over lack of development activities in their wards during the council meetings on many occasions. He said that many YSRCP corporators are joining the NDA because they are impressed with the development activities being implemented by the government. He questioned how come the YSRCP corporators left for a camp, when the GVMC has scheduled a budget meeting on March 29.
“The YSRCP is coming up with such camps frightened over the no-confidence motion moved against the Mayor. Come what may, the NDA will clinch the council,” Mr Murthy said.
