Summary:

VIJAYAWADA: With only a few months left for the next round of elections , political parties which are dominant in other parts of the country are looking to make their presence felt in Andhra Pradesh. The Congress had received just 2% vote share in the state as people are angry with the party over the bifurcation. It is flexing muscles this time to show some increase in its vote base compared to 2014 elections. SC, ST and OBC groups are supporting the party, and they have the blessings of party chief Mayawati. The two parties are aligning with the Jana Sena, hoping to win at least a couple of seats taking advantage of Pawan Kalyan’s image..
