Telangana: BRS finding giving tickets in 25 constituencies very hard
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Some parties have no candidates and it is a problem. Party sources indicated that BRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has initiated an exercise to release the first list of party candidates for the upcoming Assembly polls later this month. Despite the BRS party’s call for agitation and protest on Wednesday to protest against TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy’s comments,, Mr Rama Rao and Mr Harish Rao were confined to Hyderabad. Party sources said that during the shortlisting process, some 25 Assembly constituencies were identified, which are said to be 'most problematic' due to fierce battle between incumbent MLAs and multiple aspirants and all of them issuing warnings that they would be forced to leave the party and join Congress or BJP, if they are denied tickets. It is believed that the CM has entrusted this task to Rama Rao, Harish Rao, Madhusudhana Chary, Vinod Kumar and a few other leaders to speak to disgruntled leaders and ensure that there is no exodus from BRS to other parties ahead of Assembly polls.
