Congress maintains suspense over candidate for Huzurabad bypolls
Deccan ChronicleHYDERABAD: The TRS and the BJP have declared their candidates for the Huzurabad byelection several weeks ago, but the Congress is yet to do so as the polling date was declared as October 30 on Tuesday. Former minister Konda Surekha, former MP Ponnam Prabhakar, DCC president Kavvampally Satyanarayana, D. Sambaiah and Gudur Swamy Reddy are said to be strong contenders for the ticket. She asked the party leadership to give three tickets for their family members in the 2023 Assembly elections in the undivided Warangal district area. If the Congress opts for a local candidate, Swamy Reddy may be the candidate, the sources said. If the Congress wants to field a candidate from the Scheduled Caste community, it may prefer either Kavvampally Satyanarayana or D. Sambaiah.
