There is a hot race going on for the Rajya Sabha seat from Telangana. Banda Prakash is a BC candidate (Mudiraj), there is a talk that KCR will choose another BC candidate for the vacant seat.
Planning board chairman Boinapalli Vinod Kumar and former MD of Namasthe Telangana daily C L Rajam, who is also a realtor are being considered for the same post.
Rajam has been given the contract for developing Raja Rajewswari Temple and the budget is about eight hundred crores. Rajam is being lured to take the place of Rameshwar Rao the My Home man. Rajam is a brahmin.
There are also rumours that since KCR is pampering Dalits of late with various schemes like Dalit Bandhu, he might even prefer a Dalit leader like Mothkupalli Narasimhulu.
Some more names that are doing rounds in the TRS circles are – actor Prakash Raj who had been moving in the close circle of KCR for some time in the recent past.
But Prakash Raj has got very less chances they say. As Prashant is looking after the politics at the National level for TRS, Prakash will not come into the picture.
