VIJAYAWADA: Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy wants to win all seats at the crucial MLC elections. Jagan asked party leaders that winning the two teachers' and three graduates' MLC seats is as important as a victory in the 2024 general elections. All political parties have entered the contest for the first time. YSR Congress and Poll panel to issue notification tomorrow The poll panel will issue the notification on February 16. The election for the two teacher MLC seats and three graduate MLC seats will be held on March 13 to fill the vacancies with the retirement of the sitting members on March 29. While the political parties can field their candidates for the graduates’ seats, they will have to field the candidates as independents for teachers’ constituencies. The YSR Congress backed an independent candidate in 2017 and 2021 elections and wrested the seats for the first time. This time too, the YSR Congress named its candidates for the seats ahead of the notification. The Left parties sponsored Progressive Democratic Front (PDF) is equally strong in the teachers’ constituency and it is to be seen if the strong teachers’ unions would retain their hold in the two segments or would leave them to the political parties. TDP and BJP too have named their candidates for the three graduates’ constituencies while YSR Congress has also named its nominees for the two teachers’ constituencies.

The Opposition party led by former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu has been facing continuous defeats — be it bypolls to Assembly, the Lok Sabha or the panchayat, municipal body elections — since Jaganmohan Reddy stormed to power in 2019 winning 151 out of 175 Assembly seats.
