TDP probables for Telangana bypolls
TDP is understood to have considered the names of at least seven candidates for the ensuing by-elections in Telangana, even as the Election Commission announced the poll schedule today.
The likely nominees are –
Gone Hanumantha Rao (Mancherial)
Ch Sudhakar Rao (Vemulawada)
Aleem (Nizamabad Urban)
M Damodar Reddy (Huzurabad)
Boda Janardhan (Chennur)
P Rajyalakshmi (Sirpur Kagaznagar)
S Viswanath (Korutla).
The party, however, maintained that no names had been finalised yet for the by-polls and the respective candidates were only”under consideration”. TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu is leaving on a two-day trip to Vizinagaram district in north-coastal Andhra tomorrow and the party candidates for the by-elections will be finalised only after his return to Hyderabad, party sources said. Naidu today held parleys with his senior colleagues from the region and deliberated on the strategy for the by-polls. Ramesh Rathod, Nagam Janardhan Reddy, Errabelli Dayakar Rao and Venugopalachari were conspicuous by their absence.
The party decided to raise people’s problems and highlight the state government’s failures rather than take up the controversial statehood issue in the by-poll campaign, according to senior party leaders.
Though there are 12 vacancies, election petitions are pending with regard to two Assembly seats — Vemulawada and Sircilla, as the petitioners have sought to be declared elected, the EC said.

Let there be social boycott of the families who contest against the candidates who resigned for the cause of Telangana. Let there be swearing cermonies in every village that they will boycott the familes who contested against candidates who resigned for the cause of Telangana. We will call the candidates from congress and TDP as Telangana drohulu.
