The younger generation of TDP leaders is all set to prove their mettle in the upcoming elections whether it be the sons of Karanam Balaram, Devineni Nehru, Ayyanna Patrudu, Yerram Naidu etc.
Figuring right at the top of the list though are JC Pawan Reddy and Paritala Sriram, sons of JC Diwakar Reddy and Paritala Ravi.
Both of them are now trying for control over Anantpur district and making their moves accordingly.
Both Pawan and Sriram will be contesting the 2019 polls on the TDP ticket and the JC family will be venturing out of Tadipatri for the first time.
Ironically, when Paritala Ravi was alive, he exercised total control over Anantpur district and when he entered Tadipatri for the municipal elections there, the JC family did not even contest the polls and had to leave the district. But it’s a different story now.
JC Pawan is a smart young man and rumour has it that Nara Lokesh actually gives more credence to Pawan than Sriram, in his coterie.
JC Pawan and Sriram are carrying forward the legacies of their families and 2019 will determine which of them emerges on top in Anantpur district.
