Telangana bypolls: TDP announces final list

Hyderabad, July 07: Telugu Desam Party (TDP) last night announced its final list of candidates for three Assembly seats for the July 27 bypolls in Telangana region.

Party President N Chandrababu Naidu announced the list late tonight. He had announced the list of nine candidates two days ago.

Former Minister and film actor M Babu Mohan has been chosen as the TDP candidate for Siddipet constituency in Medak district. He will take on TRS’ T Harish Rao.

A Narsa Reddy, currently a member of the Legislative Council, has been fielded from Nizamabad Urban. His main rival at the hustings will be state Congress President D Srinivas.

Though initially the TDP wanted to field a minority community candidate, it finally selected Narsa Reddy to give a strong fight to the PCC chief, TDP sources said.
