Jana Sena Party (JSP) Srikakulam district general secretary Daneti Sridhar and his wife, mayoral candidate Daneti Radha Rani on Monday said that all the civic bodies, including Srikakulam Municipal Corporation would receive huge funds from the Centre under the Finance Commission soon, as the Andhra Pradesh government had fulfilled the statutory norm of completing the local body elections.
Ahead of the Srikakulam Municipal Corporation elections, scheduled in the last week of November, Dr. Sridhar, D. Radha Rani, A.P. Forest Development Corporation chairman Gedela Chaitnya met people in different places to seek their support for the JSP. The party was allocated a Mayor seat during the seat-sharing agreement okayed by the alliance partners—TDP, JSP and BJP.
“After the elections, Srikakulam will benefit as the Centre is expected to release nearly ₹12,500 crores for Andhra Pradesh. This will be a big boon to Srikakulam as the city can develop more civic amenities including proper drainage system, parks, street lights and others,” said Dr. Sridhar.
He added that the JSP had prepared a vision plan for Srikakulam in accordance with the ideology of Deputy Chief Minister and JSP president K. Pawan Kalyan.
Ms. Radha Rani said that the people’s response to the party’s seven assurances for the overall development of the city had received a positive response from walkers at 80 Feet Road, PSNM School and other places.
Mr. Chaitanya said that the JSP’s spectacular victories in the municipal, Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTCs) and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency (MPTC) segments, had boosted the morale of the party, to face the elections confidently in Srikakulam. The election has been rescheduled to the last week of November due to administrative issues related to the merger of nearby villages with Srikakulam.
