TDP-BJP-Jana Sena Party (JSP) alliance leaders Nandam Abaddaiah, Chillapalli Srinivasa Rao and Panchumurthy Prasad filed the nomination papers on behalf of Nara Lokesh in Mangalagiri Assembly constituency on Thursday. 

They submitted two sets of nomination papers to the returning officer G. Rajkumari at the Mangalagiri - Tadepalli Municipal Corporation office. 

It may be noted that Mr. Lokesh lost to YSR Congress Party (YSRCP)’s Alla Ramakrishna Reddy in 2019 by a slender margin of nearly 5,400 votes. 

He is now facing former MLA Kandru Kamala’s daughter and YSRCP MLC Murugudu Hanumantha Rao’s daughter - in - law Lavanya (YSRCP).
