TRS announces its candidates for three Rajya Sabha seats

The Hindu  

Vaddiraju Ravichandra, the businessman-turned-politician and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi’s surprise choice for one of the three Rajya Sabha seats that is falling vacant from Telangana, filed his nomination papers on May 19 at a function held at the Telangana Assembly premises in Hyderabad. If Vaddiraju Ravichandra’s nomination was a surprise to both the pink party’s rank and file and political pundits alike, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s decision to nominate two political newcomers, including a pharma company honcho, for two more Rajya Sabha seats that are falling vacant in the State was equally baffling. Besides Vaddiraju Ravichandra, the other two TRS nominees are Bandi Parthasaradhi Reddy, chairman and managing director, Hetero Group; and Divakonda Damodar Rao, chairman and managing director, Telangana Publications Private Limited. While Vaddiraju Ravichandra will replace Banda Prakash who resigned from the Rajya Sabha after he was elected to the Telangana State Legislative Council, the other two Rajya Sabha seats are falling vacant because the terms of the sitting TRS Rajya Sabha members are expiring in June.
