Hyderabad: The BJP dashed the hopes of former Union minister Daggubati Purandeswari on Wednesday, giving her the Rajampet Lok Sabha seat, as against the Visakhapatnam seat that she was aspiring for.
The Rajampet seat, spread across Kadapa and Chittoor districts, is dominated by Balijas and Reddys. Except in 1957 and 1962, where Reddy candidates were elected, the voters have plumped for Balija candidates 12 times. Ms Purandeswari belongs to neither community.
