Professor Kodandaram, Shabbir Ali, and Addanki Dayar are the hot favourite names for the two MLC nominations. CM Revanth has already announced the name of Kodandaram.
But the list is unending. There are around twenty aspirants. The Congress usually has this culture. Revanth Reddy with the blessing of the High Command will take the call before the Parliament elections.
Senior leaders Mohd Ali Shabbir, Ramreddy Damodar Reddy, T. Jagga Reddy, Anjan Kumar Yadav, S.A. Sampath Kumar, and Mohd Azharuddin, who contested recent Assembly polls and lost, are seeking MLC nominations.
TPCC working president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, Addanki Dayakar, former minister G. Chinna Reddy, Patel Ramesh Reddy, NSUI Telangana president Balmoor Venkat, and Youth Congress president Shiva Sena Reddy, who were denied Assembly tickets, are also seeking MLC nominations, reminding that the party leadership its promise to this effect.
Revanth as such is under severe pressure, but he has his own logic of doing things. 6 Minister posts are also vacant and Vivek family is already in the race.
There is talk that Vivek brothers will step back and give the way to the son of Vivek Venkat Swamy. Shabbir could be the Minister for Minority welfare.
The Minorities who supported the Congress must be taken care off. People say that once the parliament elections are over things will change.
There are also rumours that Revanth will be the Chief Minister, but it could be under the BJP regime after some time. Lets see how things change in the coming days.
