Congress official representative Janardhan Dwivedhi has announced three names of party candidates nominated for Rajya Sabha. Sitting Rajya Sabha member T.Subbirami Reddy, KVP Ramachandra rao and MA Khan are those three persons, nominated. It appears Congress high command has played a safe game by nominating Reddy and KVP to Rajya Sabha.
It wisely shunted T. Subbirami Reddy back to his seat, who is crossing swords with Vizag sitting MP D.Purandeswari for the last one year. By nominating him, high command not only solved a problem for Purandeswari but also obliged him to garner support for himself, as rebel Seemandhra Congress leaders are also stalling their own candidates. If he can’t, then he can’t even ask for Lok Sabha ticket in future.
By nominating KVP Ramachandra rao as its candidate, high command throws challenge to its rebel leaders to against him if can, as he is also very powerful and fought for Samaikyandhra along with them. They neither deny their support to him nor can drop their rebel candidate. It is a very tricky situation for the rebel leaders.
By nominating only three members, high command seems to left the room open for TRS candidate K. Keshav rao.
