At sixty-four, Naraparaju Ramchander Rao, a seasoned BJP stalwart with over “45 years” of dedicated service, embodies the resilient ‘never say die’ spirit.
While initially appearing hesitant to contest the Legislative Assembly seat for the Malkajgiri Assembly constituency, especially after facing defeats in the 2018 State elections and the 2019 Parliament polls, the party deemed him the fitting candidate for this region. Malkajgiri, characterised by a diverse population mix from both north and south India, including a substantial section from Andhra Pradesh, led the party to entrust him with the candidacy.
In a departure from the fate met by many party veterans vying for a ticket, Mr. Rao, a distinguished advocate, former MLC, and Bar Council member, has defied the odds and secured the candidacy for the constituency.
