Former minister apprehensive of support of all party leaders from district
Telangana Congress leadership is keen on fielding former minister Konda Surekha from Huzurabad constituency making it an all Backward Classes (BC) contest but the firebrand leader still has apprehensions over support from a section of top leaders in the party. While the party committee on elections headed by former Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Rajanarsimha has finalised some names, including Konda Surekha, Kavvampalli Satyanarayana, Krishna Reddy and Komuraiah, in all likelihood Ms. Surekha’s name will be cleared once she gives her final approval. Kavvampalli Satyanarayana is another option if her candidature is not finalised. Sources said that initially when the leadership approached her for the contest she evinced keen interest but expressed her apprehensions over total support from the Karimnagar district leaders, including the lone party MLA from the district D. Sreedhar Babu who represents the Manthani constituency. Ms. Surekha is from the neighbouring Warangal district.
