More turncoats likely to get BJP tickets for LS polls

Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region and TS BJP chief G. Kishan Reddy has been renominated from the Secunderabad Parliament constituency, along with national general secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar from Karimnagar and sitting MP Dharmapuri Aravind from Nizamabad.

This was finalised at the marathon BJP Central Parliamentary Board meeting in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party president J.P. Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah and other top leaders last night in New Delhi, informed party sources here on Friday.

These three could end up being the only true blue saffronites contesting the polls this time as the party leadership could well be considering giving tickets to sitting BRS MPs or Congressmen for the rest of the constituencies if the current political buzz is anything to go by.
