YSRCP has suffered a setback in Visakhapatnam district. Around 200 families in Bhimili assembly constituency have left YSRCP and joined Telugu Desam Party. At the event held today, local MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao warmly welcomed them with party shawls.

These families from Sonthyam village of Anandapuram mandal have joined TDP and gained local significance. Speaking on the occasion, MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao said that people are voluntarily joining the ruling alliance after seeing the development work being done in the state under the leadership of Chief Minister Chandrababu. He said that these joinings are proof of the people's trust in government governance and welfare programs. Ganta expressed confidence that the alliance will win any upcoming election.

It is known that Botsa Anusha took charge as the new coordinator of YSRCP for Bhimili constituency recently. The fact that these huge joinings took place has become a political topic of discussion within a few days of this. TDP leaders are commenting that migration to the TDP is continuing in many areas across the state, indicating the support the people are giving to the government's performance.
