Gudivada Amarnath Challenges Anakapalli MP CM Ramesh to Resign and Contest Election

Anakapalli: A fresh war of words has erupted between Anakapalli MP CM Ramesh and former Andhra Pradesh minister Gudivada Amarnath, with the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader challenging the MP to resign and contest against him in the Anakapalli Lok Sabha constituency.

The latest exchange reportedly followed remarks made by CM Ramesh at Chodavaram, where he challenged Amarnath’s sister, referred to in the report as Rupai Amar, to contest and win a ZPTC election.

Responding to the challenge, Amarnath issued a counter-challenge to the Anakapalli MP, turning the exchange into a fresh political confrontation in the region.

‘Resign as MP and Contest Against Me,’ Says Amarnath

Amarnath challenged CM Ramesh to resign from his Lok Sabha seat and face him in an election for the Anakapalli parliamentary constituency.

The former minister said he would contest on behalf of the YSRCP and claimed he would leave politics if he lost the election. He added that he was not demanding that CM Ramesh quit politics if he lost, but challenged the MP to leave the region if he was defeated.

These remarks were part of Amarnath’s response to the earlier challenge and reflect the escalating political rhetoric between the two leaders.

Amarnath Accuses CM Ramesh of Lacking Local Understanding

During his remarks, Amarnath alleged that CM Ramesh lacked a proper understanding of local electoral politics. He also made allegations against the MP concerning his activities in the region.

Amarnath further argued that his family had previously faced similar political challenges. Referring to his father’s electoral victory in the Anakapalli parliamentary constituency, he said the family had succeeded in the past despite opposition from Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders.

These claims and comparisons were made by Amarnath during the political exchange. They should be viewed as statements attributed to him rather than independently established facts.

ZPTC Challenge Also Becomes a Point of Dispute

Amarnath questioned CM Ramesh’s remarks about contesting a ZPTC election in Chodavaram. He claimed the MP could face difficulties during the scrutiny of nomination papers because of his voter registration details.

The claim regarding the MP’s voter registration and eligibility has not been independently verified for this report.

Political Tensions Rise in Anakapalli

The latest exchange highlights the continuing political rivalry between leaders associated with the TDP and YSRCP in the Anakapalli region.

With both sides trading sharp remarks, the confrontation has brought electoral challenges and local political influence back into focus. Any decision by either leader to contest against the other would depend on formal announcements and the applicable election process.

Vizag TV will continue to follow developments and report any official response from CM Ramesh or further statements from Gudivada Amarnath.
