The polling is underway at Nandyal . It is very prestigious for the TDP and also YSRC
When 2.19 lakh voters of Nandyal Assembly constituency in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh exercise their franchise in the by-election today, they will be virtually setting the trend for the general elections due in May 2019.
If the ruling Telugu Desam Party loses, it will be seen as an “anti-establishment” vote. If it wins, the opposition YSR Congress will take it as a harbinger for its race for power in 2019.
The outcome will sure alter the political equations in the state with speculation rife that defections will start once again, depending on the winner.
The BJP, though on TDP’s side now, is said to be keenly watching Nandyal to fine-tune its strategy for 2019.
