MLA 2 MP
It is being reported that nearly 20 members of the Congress party who are currently serving as the Members of the Legislative Assembly are are trying for the MP ticket in the next elections. This is having serious impact on the members who had been contesting for MP and are planning to be re-elected.
The sudden demand for the MP tickets comes in the wake of Constituency refragmentation done last year. This refragmentation has completely split the constituencies of some of the member. These members know very well that they cannot win in the new formed constituencies and thus are trying for MP seats instead.
Another reason is the rise of new political powers in the state. The Praja Rajyam Party floated by Chiranjeevi is likely to have a heavy impact in most of the constituencies, especially in the Coastal Andhra. So Congress men from these constituencies are either joining the PRP or trying for the MP seats.
This new trend will see heavy competition for the MP seats. So probably after the next elections, we will see most of our leaders in Delhi!

I’d rather have hundreds of parties than be stuck with the two wildly ineffective ones we have here…
