Change of in-charges in Araku YCP is fueling fire. The appointment of Goddeti Madhavi as Araku constituency in-charge in place of sitting MLA Chetty Phalguna has led to outrage among local leaders. The party’s own ranks were worried when Madhavi, a non-local, was appointed as the coordinator instead of the locals who worked for the party. In order of these developments, CM Jagan has ordered YV Subbareddy to review the developments taking place in Aruku. What is happening in Araku? All the constituencies are one count.. that constituency is another count. Araku Assembly Constituency has become a big task for YCP. Although YCP won here in 2014 and 2019, the fact that the non-local MLA is not a strong social class leader is disturbing the ruling party. That’s why.. Araku MP has been given the in-charge responsibility to field as MLA candidate here.. Hill nobles became the deciding factor in the constituency. Since the sitting MLA does not belong to this social group, the YCP has fielded Madhavi from the Konda Doras.
Araku has a total of 2 lakh 25 thousand voters and is numerically dominated by three tribal sub-castes namely Konda Doras, Valmikas and Bhagats. The hill aristocracy, which predominates in Araku, are traditionally supporters of the Left. But after the emergence of the YCP, the party became sympathizers and even the traditional voters of the Congress shifted towards the YCP in 2014 and 2019, resulting in one-sided elections. But the leadership in the Konda Dora social class has not grown much, there is a lack of strong leaders, Valmiki social class leaders are less in number but active leadership, so leaders like Kidari Sarveswara Rao and Chetti Phalguna are getting elected as MLAs there. If we look at the history of Araku Assembly Constituency, in 2009, TDP candidate Siveri Soma won with 402 votes. In 2014, against the same Siveri Soma, YSP candidate Kidari Sarveswara Rao won a majority of 35 thousand. In 2019, Kidari Sarveswara Rao’s son Shravan contested from TDP and was limited to the third position. YCP candidate Chetty Falguna won with a margin of 25 thousand votes. Sitting MLA.. Falguna and earlier MLA Sarveswara Rao also.. Valmiki are leaders from the social class. But this time the YCP decided to give a chance to the hill nobles.
In the absence of a strong leader among the local hill nobles, Araku MP, Goddeti Madhavi was brought in and appointed as Araku coordinator. As Madhavidi Paderu is a constituency, the local leadership is concerned that only local leaders should be given a chance in Araku. The party focused on it as it was getting worse day by day. Generally, locality is not a big factor in ST constituencies, but this time, YV Subbareddy himself was brought into the field to know the situation at the field level. He is going to Ara tomorrow. However, as the party received reports that Araku sitting MLA Chetty Phalguna, who is hoping to contest again, is the reason behind these protests, YV will talk to him. The party has taken it seriously that Falguna is protesting despite being told to give MLC. If it turns out that there is really opposition to Madhavi.. there is a possibility that former minister Balaraju from the same Valmiki community will be brought into the ring and Falguna will be checked. Even though Balaraju is not a local, the fact that he is a former minister is familiar with the area. The Giriputras too.. are looking for those who favor YCP rather than social class preferences.. the ruling party is likely to focus on alternatives. In this background, Subba Reddy’s visit tomorrow will become interesting.
