Former Union Minister D Purandeswari, who quit Congress over the Telangana issue and joined the BJP, has been denied a ticket from the Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha seat which she represented.

Purandeswari, daughter of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N T Rama Rao, is the sitting MP from Visakhapatnam and had apparently joined the party with an understanding that she will be given the ticket from the constituency.

The BJP Central Election Committee has decided to field its Andhra Pradesh unit chief K Hari Babu from Visakhapatnam.
