Peddapalli : Three persons from the same family are now representing Peddapalli in the Parliament and the Assembly. This became possible with Gaddam Vamshikrishna’s victory as MP from the Peddapalli parliament constituency.
His father G Vivek represents the Chennur assembly segment, while his uncle and Vivek’s elder brother, G Vinod Kumar represents Bellampalli constituency, both of which are under the Peddapalli parliament constituency.
Vivek, who was with the BJP, had joined the Congress before the 2023 assembly elections, reportedly on the condition of two Assembly seats and a Parliament ticket.
The Peddapalli parliament segment has seven assembly constituencies – Peddapalli, Manthani, Ramagundam, Dharmapuri, Chennur, Mancherial, and Bellampalli.
