Sarve replaces Rajaiah in Warangal bypoll fray
Former Union Minister of State Sarve Satyanarayana on Wednesday filed nomination as the Congress candidate for November 21 byelection to Warangal (SC) Lok Sabha constituency.
Hyderabad: Former Union Minister of State Sarve Satyanarayana on Wednesday filed nomination as the Congress candidate for November 21 byelection to Warangal (SC) Lok Sabha constituency.
Satyanarayana, who rushed to Warangal from Hyderabad on the direction of party leadership, filed his nomination papers a few minutes before the deadline
Satyanarayana filed the nomination after Siricilla Rajaiah opted out following the deaths of his daughter-in-law and three grandsons in a mysterious fire that engulfed his house on Wednesday morning.
Satyanarayana, who rushed to Warangal from Hyderabad on the direction of party leadership, filed his nomination papers a few minutes before the deadline.
A two-time MP, he had served as Minister of State for Road Transport in UPA-II government. The 61-year-old leader was keen to contest the byelection but the leadership decided to field Rajaiah, a local leader, who had earlier represented the same constituency.
Rajaiah, who had filed nomination on Monday, conveyed to the party leadership on Wednesday that he would not be able to contest the byelection in the present situation.
Sarika and her three children Abhinav, 7, Ayan, 3, and Sriyan, 3, were charred to death in the fire in Rajaiah's house in Warangal town early Wednesday. Police have detained the former MP, his wife and son for questioning.
The by-election to Warangal constituency, reserved for scheduled castes, was necessitated by the resignation of Telangana Rashtra Samithi's Kadiyam Srihari after he was made Deputy Chief Minister of the State.
