Party wants to give every aspirant a chance to contest: Mahesh Goud
Congress seems to have delayed the selection of the Huzurabad candidate till there is some clarity on the poll dates and also prolong the selection procedure to buy time before taking a final decision. TPCC working president Mahesh Kumar Goud made this clear when he announced at a press conference that the candidate selection will be done by the AICC after September 10, and the party wants to give every aspirant a chance to contest for the nomination. Those aspiring for the Huzurabad ticket for the bypoll will have to apply from September 1 to 5 at Gandhi Bhavan along with an application fee of ₹5,000, which he said was the normal practice in the party. There is a strong opinion emerging in the party that a local candidate would be the right choice.
