Kotamreddy’s ‘Gen Z connect’ expected to yield four NMC seats for youth

After recently announcing to establish connect with the Gen Z and holding a series of meetings with college students, Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy has taken the goal forward by announcing to earmark four divisions in Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) to young candidates.

Of the 72 divisions under NMC, 36 fall under Nellore Rural constituency, and as such, Mr. Reddy has a considerable say in choosing the candidates.

With elections to the local bodies round the corner, politicians are busy identifying candidates for their strongholds.

However, taking a cue from New Delhi’s youth mobilisation, Mr. Sridhar Reddy had decided to give an opportunity for the youth to contest the elections.

He held a series of meetings over the last month with students of several colleges to seek their opinion on public administration and also to get inputs on the people’s expectations from the incumbent dispensation.
