Miffed over the development and fearing threat to his life, Rajesh announced that he would not contest the election from P Gannavaram. Later, he withdrew his remarks. But it is learnt that Naidu had responded positively to let the JSP contest from the seat. Chiri Balaraju was handed over the copies of election guidelines and the Model Code of Conduct for Polavaram Assembly seat at the party meeting.
