Congress is treading cautiously in terms of announcing the names of candidates for the remaining Parliament seats as it sees huge demand not only from within the party but also some strongmen from other parties.
The list is likely to come out on March 17 when results of the surveys taken up by party strategist Sunil Kanugolu’s team will throw up a picture of the strongest among the aspirants. Sources said Mr.Kanugolu’s team has taken up another round of surveys with new names as some ‘strong and influential’ men from other parties are also showing keen interest.
Mr.Kanugolu, who has gained a lot of respect within the party after his strategies worked out well in the Assembly elections, is said to have informed the party that the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is losing badly in terms of vote share in Parliament elections but a majority of that vote may shift to the BJP improving its chances.
