Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter K Kavitha is all set to enter the state Legislative Council.
The Election Commission has announced October 9 as the date of polling for the by-election for the post of MLC from Nizamabad Local Authorities Constituency. With TRS having 598 out of total 824 voters, Kavitha’s Win is a foregone conclusion. Kavitha had filed nomination for the by-election on March 18. Congress fielded Subhash Reddy while the BJP named P Laxminarayana as its candidate. But Congress and BJP are well behind in numbers with each having 140 and 84 members only. The election was postponed thrice due to ongoing COVID situation.
The vacancy in the Council caused by disqualification of incumbent R Bhupathi Reddy who defected to Congress by 2018.Both High Court and the Supreme Court upheld the disqualification.
K Kavitha was defeated in 2019 Loksabha election by BJP Candidate Dharmapuri Arvind who Jumped to BJP from TRS before election. It was a big setback to Telengana CM as he has registered a stupendous win few months before in State election.
