The Congress Election Committee on Telangana that met in New Delhi on Monday discussed the names for the four pending Parliament seats from the State has cleared the name of Kadiyam Kavya, daughter of BRS MLA Kadiyam Srihari who joined the Congress a couple of days ago, for Warangal (SC) seat.
Dr. Kavya opted out of the race from the same seat after being nominated by the BRS party.
Though the list is yet to be released officially sources said that Sameer Waliullah, chairman of the Hyderabad City Congress Committee minority wing has been cleared to fight against AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi in Hyderabad seat.
A Praveen Reddy, who had to forego the Husnabad ticket in the Assembly elections, will be the candidate for Karimnagar seat where former BJP State president Bandi Sanjay and former MP of BRS Vinod Kumar are in the fray.
The stalemate over Khammam seat continued and the decision was left to the party high command. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka is seeking the ticket for his wife Nandini while Minister for Revenue Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy is demanding the same for his brother Prasad Reddy. There are a few other strong contenders and the CEC decided to leave the choice to the party high command, it is learnt.
