Summary:
Visakhapatnam: It could be a close three-way contest in Pendurthi assembly constituency of Vizag city. Praja Rajyam, which was floated by Pawan Kalyan’s elder brother K Chiranjeevi, won the same Pendurthi ticket in 2009. The Kapu factor may work in favour of Jana Sena this time. The former Gajuwaka MLA, Ch Venkata Ramaiah, is contesting on the ticket of new entrant Jana Sena. The alleged land scam in Mudapaka and other parts of the constituency damaged TDP’s reputation in the constituency to some extent..
