Hyderabad: Candidates of Jai Samaikyaandhra
Party are withdrawing from the poll race ahead of the Lok Sabha and Assembly
elections in Seemandhra tomorrow, a move which is likely to go in favour of the
TDP.
Expelled Congress MP and JSP candidate from Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha seat Sabbam Hari announced this afternoon that he was retiring from the polls to prevent split in votes.
"If YSRC comes to power, it will only spread mayhem in new Andhra Pradesh," Sabbam said.
He lashed out at the Jaganmohan Reddy-led party saying such "divisive" forces would cause more harm to the state than the bifurcation.
Sabbam's withdrawal is expected to boost the prospects of BJP's Kambhampati Haribabu, pitted against YSRC honorary president Y S Vijayamma from Visakhapatnam.
Yesterday, candidates of former Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy-led JSP contesting the seven Assembly seats under Narsaraopet parliamentary constituency withdrew from the race and joined the TDP, giving a major boost to its candidate Rayapati Sambasiva Rao.
