NDA, YSRCP step up preparations for local body elections in Visakhapatnam

Ahead of the proposed local body elections, the ruling NDA and the Opposition YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) have stepped up preparations, intensifying their engagement with party cadre and drawing up constituency-level strategies.

Senior leaders of both sides have been holding sensitisation and coordination meetings with cadre, focusing on the issues and achievements they intend to take to the electorate.

The NDA has been asking its leaders and cadre to highlight development works taken up in the city over the past two years, including ward-level infrastructure projects and various government initiatives. The YSRCP, meanwhile, has been focusing on issues such as the drinking water crisis and what it describes as failures of the NDA government.
