In a surprising turn of events, the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) found itself withholding the names of candidates for four Telangana Assembly seats despite declaring 115 candidates on August 21, ahead of the November 30 polls. The delayed announcement has sparked speculations, ranging from internal conflicts to strategic moves to counter the opposition.
Let’s delve into the curious cases surrounding these four constituencies:
Jangaon: A tussle between sitting MLA Muthireddy Yadagiri Reddy and MLC Palla Rajeshwar Reddy has caused the delay. While the BRS seeks a replacement for Yadagiri Reddy due to anti-incumbency, Rajeshwar Reddy has begun campaigning in the constituency.
Nampally: The BRS is awaiting the announcement of an AIMIM candidate, aiming to field a strong contender to counter Congress nominee Feroz Khan, who holds a favorable position in the race.
Goshamahal: With the BJP renominating suspended MLA T Raja Singh and the Congress fielding Mogili Sunitha, the BRS eyes constituency in-charge Nanda Kishore Vyas as its potential candidate.
Narsapur: Despite pressure from incumbent MLA Madan Reddy, the BRS opted for Telangana State Women Commission chairperson Sunitha Laxma Reddy, emphasizing the party’s commitment to enhance women’s representation.
Assurances from Senior Minister T Harish Rao hint at impending candidate declarations for all four constituencies in the coming days, shedding light on the ongoing political dynamics in Telangana.
