Congress party and Telangana nominations
The party approved the candidature of two former members of Parliament, one of whom was a former Union minister, in addition to a former MLA and a first-time candidate, for the Telangana Parliament elections. Friday marked the release of the initial list of 39 names from various states, including four from Telangana, by the Congress Central Election Committee (CEC), which met that evening. Suresh Kumar Shetkar of Zaheerabad, Challa Vamshi Chand Reddy of Mahabubnagar, Kunduru Raghuveer Reddy of Nalgonda, and Balram Naik Porika of Mahabubabad (ST reserved) were among those who received the nod.
In the second term of the Manmohan Singh administration, Mr. Naik assumed the position of Union minister. Concurrently, Mr. Shetkar was the Member of Parliament for Zaheerabad from 2009 to 2014. Prior to his current position as secretary of the AICC (organization), Mr. Vamshichand Reddy represented the Kalwakurthy constituency as an MLA. A first-timer is Mr. Kunduru Raghuveer Reddy, the son of senior Congress leader Kunduru Jana Reddy. Since Mr. Jana Reddy had requested the ticket for either himself or his son, his presence was anticipated. Raghuveer Reddy's brother, Jayaveer Reddy, is an MLA for the constituency of Nagarjuna Sagar.
Telangana Lok Sabha Elections updates
According to Lok Sabha Elections latest news, four or five days from now, at the CEC's subsequent meeting, the party will almost certainly clear the other names. For seats in Bhongir, Nagarkurnool, Chevella, and Khammam, competition is intense.
For the Malkajgiri seat former Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy represented in the previous Lok Sabha, the Congress is searching for a robust candidate. Additional undetermined seats include those in Medak, Nizamabad, Adilabad, and Karimnagar. Three seats out of seventeen were won by the Congress in the 2019 elections. With the party in power, however, Mr. Revanth Reddy is burdened with the formidable task of securing a minimum of ten seats. He has declared the party's 14-seat victory to the public.
