Besides silencing critics, the ruling party considers the bypoll a barometer of people’s faith in it
After back-to-back victories in the panchayat and municipal elections, the YSRCP is clearly on a bull run to win the Tirupati (SC) Lok Sabha seat. For the ruling party, which is putting a no-holds-barred fight, a win here means much more than retaining its own seat that had fallen vacant with the demise of party MP Balli Durgaprasada Rao due to COVID-19. This is also considered a barometer on the level of people’s faith retained, two years after its stunning victory in 2019.More Related News
