The political heat in Munugode Assembly Constituency is set to go up further with the Election Commission announcing the schedule for the by-election caused by the resignation of sitting Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, who since joined Bharatiya Janata Party and contesting the election now.
As per the schedule issued, notification would be issued on October 7, last date for filing nomination papers will be October 14, scrutiny of nominations will be held on October 15 and last date for withdrawal of candidates will be October 17. Polling for the by-election will be held on November 3 and counting of votes will be taken up on November 6.
Along with BJP, the Congress party too has announced its candidate early by picking up Palvai Sravanthi. However, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is yet to name its candidate, although all the three parties have been engaged in a break-neck political activity by encouraging defections of village and mandal level leaders of the other parties.
