Following successful talks among alliance leaders on contesting the Andhra Pradesh local body elections, the Janasena Party has sounded the poll bugle and begun preparations for the upcoming contest. The party leadership has officially started receiving applications from leaders and workers who wish to contest.
Janasena leaders, Janasainiks and Veera Mahilas who want to contest in municipal corporations, municipalities, Mandal Parishads, Zilla Parishads and panchayats have been asked to submit applications with complete bio-data immediately. The party announced on X that aspirants should apply online through the official portal, jsplocalbodyelections.com, which has been designed specially for them.
As part of first-phase preparations, candidates wishing to contest for the posts of mayor, chairman, corporator and councillor in municipal corporations and municipalities have been given a clear deadline of 3 pm today. Applications from candidates for MPTC, ZPTC, sarpanch and ward member posts will be examined afterwards.
Party sources said the exercise has been speeded up on the orders of chief Pawan Kalyan, with the aim of fielding winnable candidates and trusted, popular workers in the seats allotted to Janasena under the alliance. The final list of candidates will be settled after considering field-level reports, candidates’ social background and their service to the party.
