Guntur: MLC polls YSRCP likely to field Mopidevi, Marri Rajasekhar
YSRCP is likely to field minister for agriculture marketing Mopidevi Venkataramana, former MLA Marri Rajasekhar and Iqbal who had contested against Nandamuri Balakrishna in Hindupur as candidates for MLC bypolls which were necessitated due to resignation of MLCs Karanam Balarama Krishna Murthy (TDP) , Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas (Nani) and K Veerabhadra Swamy (both YSRCP)
Guntur: YSRCP is likely to field minister for agriculture marketing Mopidevi Venkataramana, former MLA Marri Rajasekhar and Iqbal who had contested against Nandamuri Balakrishna in Hindupur as candidates for MLC bypolls which were necessitated due to resignation of MLCs Karanam Balarama Krishna Murthy (TDP) , Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas (Nani) and K Veerabhadra Swamy (both YSRCP)
The three MLAs were elected to Assembly. The Election Commission of India will issue notification to fill the three vacant MLC posts on August 7.
According to sources in the YSRCP, minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana had contested from Repalle and was defeated.
But, he got a berth in the state Cabinet. It is necessary that he has to become a member of either Legislative Assembly or Legislative Council to continue as minister.
So, the YSRCP high command will field him in MLC bypolls. Similarly, Jagan Mohan Reddy had assured Cabinet berth to former MLA and YSRCP leader Marri Rajasekhar. So, he is likely to get ticket to contest in the MLC byelection. Jagan had also assured MLC ticket to Iqbal who had contested against N Balakrishna in Hindupur in constituency unsuccessfully.
The Election Commission has already announced schedule for byelection to the three vacant MLC posts.
