The Congress party has reportedly finalised four candidates for the upcoming by-elections to be held in 16 constituencies where by-elections were necessitated due to disqualification of rebel Congress MLAs.
According to reports, the Congress is likely to field Kotthapalli Subbarayudu from Narsapur, Thota Trimurthulu from Ramachandrapuram, Dharmana Ramdas from Narsannapet and Gangula Prathap Reddy from Aallagadda constituency. However, their names would be officially announced after High Command’s approval.
Earlier, these constituencies were represented by M Prasada Raju (Narsapur) Dharmana Krishnadas (Narsannapet) and Pilli Subashchandra Bose (Ramachandrapuram) and they were disqualified by the Speaker. Similarly, the Speaker has accepted the resignation of Praja Rajyam member from Allagadda MLA Shoba Nagi Reddy.
According to sources, the party would finalise the candidates for remaining constituencies soon. (INN)
