INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Hyderabad: The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti might field Nomula Bharath, son of the late TRS MLA Nomula Narasimhaiah, from the
Nagarjunasagar Assembly segment in the upcoming byelection.This is in view of reports that the Congress might field senior leader K
TRS said that pressure was being exerted on the leadership to field a candidate from the Reddy community so as to give a tough fight to the
Congress
The family of Jana Reddy has considerable influence in the constituency though he had lost the 2018 elections by a margin of 7,000 votes.The
names of Telangana Legislative Council chairman Gutha Sukhender Reddy, MLC Tera Chinnapa Reddy, M.C
Koti Reddy and Vijayender Reddy are making the rounds of TRS circles as likely candidates for the byelection.In the Dubbak byelection, the
TRS had fielded the wife of late Solipeta Ramalinga Reddy
If a bereaved family member of an MLA from the backward community is not fielded in the bypoll, it will give scope for criticism the party
likely consider fielding Rajya Sabha member Badugula Lingaiah Yadav.The fight will be between the Congress and the TRS as Nagarjunasagar has

The BJP has not contested the 2014 election from this segment
In the 2018, its candidate K
Nivedita Reddy got just 2,682 votes and finished the race fourth even though some BJP Union ministers had pitched in for the campaign.While
