THE YSRCP in Raptadu Assembly constituency seems to be grappling with a leadership crisis marked by factional infighting and growing dissatisfaction among party cadres. Local activists have voiced concern over the lack of accessibility and engagement from the party's coordination head Thopudurthi Prakash Reddy, and his faction, leading to speculation that new leadership may emerge.

The discontent is further amplified by the significant presence of Backward Classes (BC) voters in the constituency, with increasing calls for BC leaders to play a more prominent role. This has intensified tensions between the Thopudurthi faction and the BC leaders, fueling a fierce power struggle.
