Newcomers versus veteran in Nagarjunasagar bypoll
The Hindu
BJP too has fielded a fresh face
Two first timers to electoral politics will clash swords with veteran Congress leader K. Jana Reddy in the byelection to Nagarjunasagar Assembly constituency on April 17. By fielding Nomula Bhagat Kumar, TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has overlooked the chances of at least four seniors in the party in the quest to win the polls on sympathy wave. Mr. Bhagat’s father Narasimhaiah died in December, necessitating the election. On the other hand, a medical doctor P. Ravi Kumar Naik who joined the BJP only last month was the party candidate in preference to an in-charge of the constituency.More Related News
