YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday night released the second list of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha and state assembly elections, making major reshuffle of candidates.
Jagan changed four sitting MPs – Talari Rangaiah from Anantapur, Gorantla Madhav from Hindupur, Goddeti Madhavi from Araku (ST) and Margani Bharat from Rajahmundry.
