Clearing suspense over the Narsapur Assembly constituency ticket, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) president and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao decided to nominate former Minister Sunitha Laxma Reddy as the party’s MLA candidate, replacing the sitting MLA Ch. Madan Reddy.
Mr. Madan Reddy would now contest as the Medak MP from BRS in the Parliament elections, replacing Kotha Prabhakar Reddy, who was earlier given the BRS ticket for the Dubbaka Assembly constituency. The decision was taken at the BRS party core committee meeting headed by Mr. KCR. He handed over the B form to Ms. Sunita Laxma Reddy.
Narsapur is one of the few constituencies where the BRS chief did not name the candidate in the first list, which was announced more than a month ago. The party tried to convince Mr. Madan Reddy to leave the seat for Ms. Sunita, a former Minister in the Y.S. Rajashekhar Reddy cabinet. But Mr. Madan Reddy, a close associate of the Chief Minister for over three decades, was adamant that he would contest.
