Mines and Geology Minister Galla Aruna Kumari on Sunday called on Rajya Sabha MP K Chiranjeevi at latter’s residence in Jubilee Hills.
Aruna Kumari has reportedly sought Chiranjeevi’s help to get Congress ticket for her son G Jaydev from the Tirupati assembly seat in the by-elections to be held on June 12. Tirupati seat fell vacant after Chiranjeevi’s resignation following his election to the Rajya Sabha.
Jaydev, who accompanied Aruna Kumar, reportedly assured Chiranjeevi that he was the most suitable candidate and could win the by-elections. However, sources say, that Chiranjeevi declined to give any commitment to Aruna Kumari and said the final decision on the candidature would be decided by the Congress High Command. (INN)
