BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao announced Teegulla Padmarao Goud, Kyama Mallesh, and Kancharla Krishna Reddy as the party’s candidates for the Secunderabad, Bhongir, and Nalgonda constituencies respectively. Padmarao Goud, a former Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, will challenge Union Minister and state BJP president G Kishan Reddy in Secunderabad, where he currently serves as the MLA.
With the latest announcement, the BRS has now named candidates for 16 out of the total 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana, leaving only the Hyderabad constituency without a nominee. Hyderabad has been electing All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi as its Lok Sabha representative since 2004.
