Srimukhalingam temple chief priest Naidugari Rajasekhar will contest for the Srikakulam Parliamentary constituency with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ticket in the upcoming general elections.

Mr. Rajasekhar, who contested as an independent, in the previous election expressed confidence that he would give a tough fight to other candidates in the constituency as BSP was known for focusing on all communities of the society, particularly the downtrodden sections.

In a press release, he thanked BSP State co-ordinator and former DGP J. Purnachandra Rao, and BSP State president B. Paramjyothi for allocating him the ticket after receiving approval from BSP national president Mayawati.
