The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) has prepared a draft proposal to increase the number of wards from 64 to 86. This delimitation aims to ensure each ward has an electorate of approximately 8,000 to 10,000 citizens.

Amidst the ongoing discussions about merging villages into the VMC, a proposal has been put forth for the formation of a new municipality with Gollapudi as its headquarters. If approved, villages like Gollapudi, Ramarajya Nagar, and Jakkampudi could be integrated into this new municipal entity, potentially leading to localized development and improved civic governance.

The Vijayawada West Assembly constituency has achieved the top position in performance among all 175 segments in Andhra Pradesh.
