Hyderabad: Telangana BJP president and Union minister G Kishan Reddy said that the list of their party candidates for the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections will be announced soon.
He said that the party would contest all 119 Assembly constituencies and a state-wide yatra would be taken out by the party members after the ‘Telangana Liberation Day’ celebrations on September 17.
Speaking to the media in Delhi, Kishan said that an election committee will be formed to shortlist candidates.
When asked if the Goshamahal MLA, Raja Singh (who was suspended from the party a year ago) will re-contest on a BJP ticket or not, the minister said, “There is no reason for anyone to get agitated on this issue. The party will take a decision on him as well.”
On the other hand, Raja Singh said that he was not going to join BRS. He asserted that he won’t contest the Telangana Assembly polls if BJP does not revoke his suspension.
Meanwhile, the party on Wednesday announced that Channamaneni Vikas Rao, son of former Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao, will join the BJP in Hyderabad.
Additionally, Kishan Reddy also welcomed the reduction in domestic cooking gas cylinder prices by the Centre by Rs 200 per cylinder.
“Though the Centre reduced fuel prices twice, Telangana has refused to do so burdening the common people,” added Kishan Reddy.
