Kondapalli Srinivas is the minister from Vizianagaram district. He won as an MLA for the first time from Gajapathinagaram and subsequently became a minister.
It is evident that he has to balance his political responsibilities within his constituency while fulfilling his ministerial duties. However, observers say he is struggling to manage both efficiently.
Botsa Satyanarayana, the former minister, hails from the same area. Competing with his political influence and advancing the Alliance party in the region is a significant challenge.
While Kondapalli holds strong political power as a minister, many say he lacks the vigor to exercise it effectively.
As a result, despite a strong mandate in this region, the Alliance and TDP have been unable to fully assert control.
There are rumors that Kondapalli might be replaced during the upcoming cabinet expansion. If that happens, sources suggest Kala Venkat Rao may get an opportunity.
This speculation is fueled by the strong presence of the Toorpu Kapu community in the district, which could favor Kala Venkat Rao's inclusion in the cabinet.
