Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is reportedly planning to field former minister Padma Rao Goud from the Secunderabad seat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
According to sources, BRS leaders are strongly in favour of Padma Goud, who is the sitting MLA from Secunderabad Assembly constituency. In the 2023 state elections, he won the seat by defeating Congress candidate Adam Santosh Kumar. Goud managed to get 55.42 per cent of the vote share.
The BRS leadership feels that Goud would be a good candidate in case the Congress party gives ticket to Danam Nagender who re-joined the Congress party last week. Goud has a good rapport with people in Khairatabad and Musheerabad constituency.
The BRS feels their win in Secunderabad is imminent due to the strong base the party enjoys in the city limits. In the November 30, 2023 Assembly elections, the party won from the Secunderabad, Cantonment, Sanathnagar, Khairatabad, Musheerabad and Amberpet seats.
The party i shoping to net the votes of the numerically strong Goud community who live in large numbers in Secunderabad.
