Rajya Sabha MP G.V.L. Narasimha Rao aspires for Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha seat, awaiting BJP high command's decision.
BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP G.V.L. Narasimha Rao has said that he told his party high command that he is aspiring for the Visakhapatnam Lok Sabha seat.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, he said that three months ago, the BJP had asked him about the constituency he is interested in contesting from and that even then, he told them the same: that he was aspiring for the Vizag seat as he has been staying here for the last few years and has been working in the Lok Sabha constituency. However, he said that the final decision would be taken only by the high command and he is bound by its decision.
He expressed confidence that the BJP will form the government at the centre again and that the election notification will be issued on March 16 (Saturday).
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
