KCR may contest from Nalgonda for Lok Sabha polls

In a major jolt to Congress leader Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao is planning to contest from Nalgonda for Lok Sabha polls. Reddy who lost the assembly in the recent elections has eyed on the Nalgonda parliament seat.

KCR has tasted the success several times in the parliament elections. He had represented Karimnagar, Mahabubnagar and Medak by winning the elections for three consecutive terms. In 2004, he was elected from Karimnagar and then Mahabubnagar and Medak in 2006-08 by-elections. KCR who has a good track record in the Lok Sabha elections is now planning to bag as many as 16 LS seats.

However, KCR proposed Prabhakar Reddy from Medak and Vinod Kumar to contest from Karimnagar. The two LS seats have been represented by KCR earlier.
