Kotta Prabhakar Reddy TRS candidate for Medak by-election

Medak Lok Sabha bi-election is in the eyes of every political party in Telangana state. The seat that fell vacant with the resignation of K Chandra Sekhar Rao, the Chief Minister of Telangana, is all set to go for a by poll on September 13. After so much of deliberations the TRS Party has offered the ticket to Kotha Prabhakar Reddy.

Pointless to say that TRS is the blistering choice for the seat and there was so much of the demand for the party ticket. G Deviprasad Rao, chairman of the Telangana Non-Gazetted Officers Association (TNGO) and Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao who joined TRS just before the election and lost in Malkajgiri expected the TRS party ticket to contest the poll. From the other end, there were several rich persons without any political background who eye the ticket since a win is almost on the cards. Sony Travels owner K Prabhakar Reddy, rich elite with assets worth more than Rs 1,000cr, and Mahidara Constructions promoter Prashanth Reddy, with assets more than Rs 2,000 crore lobbied for the ticket and even readily offered a huge sum to the party’s fund in return to the party’s ticket.

Finally, it is Kotta Prabhakar Reddy who passed through the first hurdle and grabbed the TRS Party ticket.
