Elections to the Telangana Assembly are scheduled in December next year, clearly 17 months away unless TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao opts for an early election like in the previous term. But a by-election appears to be likely in Munugode constituency soon.
Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy has announced his intentions to quit the party and his Assembly seat bringing into focus the scope for an imminent bypoll. Things will become clear after Mr. Reddy, who dropped enough hints of joining the BJP, meets Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy and submits his resignation.
