Telangana Rashtra Samithi filed nomination of its candidate for MLC seat under MLA quota. President Minority cell and politburo member Mohammed Mahmood Ali filed his nomination as TRS candidate. He submitted the nomination paper to secretary legislature. TRS floor leader Etela Rajender, KT Rama Rao, P Srinivas Reddy, Jogu Ramanna, Gampa Govardhan, MLC Swamy Goud and other leaders accompanied him while filing the papers.
It must be noted that a candidate needs the support of 29 MLAs to gain seat in the Upper House, while the TRS has 17 members in the house and it also enjoys support of two such members who have recently joined TRS, one among them belonged to TDP and one was independent. A friend of Nagam Janardhan Reddy is likely to favour TRS candidate. Thus TRS gets support of 21 candidates and needs the support of another 5 to gain a seat in the Upper House.
