The candidates from Srikakulam and Vizianagaram are no exception. YSRCP Tekkali MLA candidate Duvvada Srinivas is among the many candidates who have visited temples during the three-week gap between the elections and the result day.
He recently went on a pilgrimage across Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. He visited the temples of Madhura Meenakshi and Nataraja’s temples in Chidambaram, Arunachalam, and Tirumala temple shrines. “I have spared no effort to campaign for the elections in Tekkali. Now, I need God’s support to win. So, I visited various temples,” said Mr. Srinivas.
