In a surprising move, Harish Rao declared Padma’s candidature, urging the voters of Medak to elect her with a strong majority for the third consecutive time in the upcoming Assembly polls.
This development has created tremors within BRS, particularly in the camps of Rohith Reddy and Subhash Reddy, who question the authority that Harish Rao has in BRS to declare candidates.
The discussion within BRS circles revolves around whether Harish declared Padma’s candidature after obtaining permission from KCR and KTR or whether he acted independently to support his close associate, Padma.
There is news that Harish took the responsibility to get Padma Reddy elected from the constituency. The survey says that she has not done well as an MLA.
Padma’s husband is a close follower of Harish and an inner circle man. That is the reason Harish took the responsibility to see that she wins her seat.
There are also rumors Harish also advocated ChantiKaranthi Kiran also for another tenure as an MLA. Kranthi got the seat under Journalists’ quota with the recommendation of Allam Narayana the Press Academy Chairman.
