Kodali Nani, who is regarded as one of the strong MLA candidates in the ruling party, YSR Congress is in the midst of a media theory that he could be losing his Gudivada MLA ticket in the coming assembly elections in the state.

Since the last couple of days, there have been reports that Kodali Nani, the 4 time MLA from Gudivada since 2004 could be getting replaced by YCP senior leader Hanumantha Rao in the coming election. 

This was said to be Jagan's plan to woo the Kapu community voters in the area by replacing Kamma community Nani with Kapu community senior Hanumantha Rao.

However, Kodali Nani was quickly to gun down these speculations as he confirmed that he will indeed contest from Gudivada in the coming elections no matter what.

Kodali confirmed that he will contest from Gudivada and his friend Vallabhaneni Vamsi will contest from Gannavaram constituency in the coming election. He dispelled the rumors about him not contesting in the election and tipped it to be a worthless tactic by the pro-TDP media.
