The name of a candidate in the list of party candidates released by Chief Minister and BRS Chief KCR on Monday is currently being debated across the state. The candidate was moved to tears when he saw his name announced on TV by the party president. Nagajyothi is the candidate of Mulugu. However, political analysts are of the opinion that Chief Minister KCR acted strategically in selecting Bade Nagajyothi . It is known that Sitakka, who contested from Mulugu in the last election for the Congress, won a great victory. Being a former Naxalite and a popular candidate, Nagajyothi is rumored to have been chosen with the intention of fielding a strong candidate against Danasari Anasuya aka Seethakka.
Bade Nagajyothi, the daughter of the late Naxalite slain Naxalite Bade Nageshwar Rao. It means Nagajyothi, the daughter of slain Naxalite Bade Nageshwar Rao alias Prabhakar, will challenge sitting Congress MLA Danasari Anasuya aka Seethakka, who is a former Naxalite.
Nagajyothi from Kalavappalli village of SS Tadwai mandal in Mulugu district has completed M.Sc.(Botany) and B.Ed from Kakatiya University, Warangal. She won as Sarpanch for the first time in 2019. After that she joined BRS. She also won the ZPTC election from Tadwai Mandal.
Currently, Bade Nagajyothi is working as ZP chair person in Mulugu district. Meanwhile, Nagajyothi’s family has a strong Maoist background. Her father Bade Nageshwar Rao was killed in a police encounter in 2018. Mama Bade Chokkarao alias Damodar is currently the commander of the banned Maoist Party Action Team.
