Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced the names of four additional party candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on Wednesday.
Former BRS MLA Bajireddy Goverdhan will be running for the Nizamabad Lok Sabha seat, while former TDP president Kasani Gnaneshwar has been selected for the Chevella ticket after sitting MP G. Ranjit Reddy declined to run.
Dr. Kadiyam Kavya will be running for the Warangal SC seat, replacing the current member Pasunuri Dayakar. The party has also named Vinod Kumar as the candidate for the Zaheerabad seat.
This brings the total number of BRS candidates announced to nine.
In the initial list of candidates released a few days ago, five candidates were named, including BRS Parliamentary Party leader Nama Nageshwar Rao for Khammam and Maloth Kavitha for the Mahabubabad ST constituency.
Additionally, senior party leader Boinpally Vinod Kumar will be running for the Karimnagar constituency, where he will face off against BJP’s Bandi Sanjay Kumar. Former Minister Koppula Eashwar has been chosen as the party’s candidate for the Peddapally SC seat, while Manne Srinivas Reddy is set to represent the Mahabubnagar constituency once again.
