Setback For Paritala Sreeram As Satya Sai ZP Chairperson Post May Go To JS
When TD leadership allotted the Nallacheruvu ZPTC seat to Sreeram, it had been understood that he would be considered for the ZP chairperson’s post.
Anantapur:In a setback for Dharmavaram TD in-charge Paritala Sreeram, son of slain leader Paritala Ravindra, the Satya Sai Zilla Parishad (ZP) chairperson post is expected to be allotted to the Jana Sena as part of a political arrangement within the ruling NDA alliance.
Sreeram contested as a ZPTC member from Nallacheruvu mandal in Kadiri area and won by a margin of around 4,000 votes. He shifted to Nallacheruvu from Ramagiri after the latter seat had been for an SC candidate.
When TD leadership allotted the Nallacheruvu ZPTC seat to Sreeram, it had been understood that he would be considered for the ZP chairperson’s post.
In the interim, following discussions within the NDA alliance, the TD high command agreed to allot six ZP chairperson posts to the Jana Sena as part of the alliance arrangement. As part of the arrangement, Satya Sai ZP chairperson post has gone to the JS. Further, Jana Sena senior leader Chilakam Madhusudan Reddy, who contested as a ZPTC member, has also won.
The latest development comes as a setback for Sreeram, who could not secure the TD ticket for the Dharmavaram Assembly constituency in the last general elections, as the seat was allotted to the BJP. Sreeram has since been serving as the TD in-charge for Dharmavaram.
The TD alliance has won a majority of ZPTC seats and is leading in several other territorial constituencies in Anantapur and Satya Sai districts. The alliance has also won a majority of MPTC seats in both districts.
