Hyderabad, Dec 22 (Maxim News): The BJP and the Congress leaders, who lost the Assembly elections from different constituencies forming part of Medak Parliamentary constituency, are aspiring to contest from the Medak Parliamentary constituency to taste electoral success in the 2024 general elections which are just five months away.
They see the Lok Sabha election as an opportunity to get a leap in their political career after the bitter experience in the Assembly elections. BRS had won the seat in the last five elections, beginning 2004.
The Medak Parliamentary Constituency spread in the erstwhile Medak district, had seven assembly segments – dubbaka, Gajwel, Patancheru, Sangareddy, Siddipet, Medak and narsapur under it. The BRS had won six of them in the 2023 assembly elections except for the Medak Assembly segment which it lost with a margin of 10,000 votes. Kotha Prabhakar Reddy, who contested and won the 2014 by-election and 2019 general elections, had resigned as Medak MP this December after his victory in the Dubbaka assembly segment over BJP candidate M Raghunandan Rao with over 53,000 votes majority.
However, senior BJP leaders Etala Rajendar, M.Raghunandan Rao, Nandishwar Goud and others were aspiring for the Medak Lok Sabha ticket while congress senior T. Jagga Reddy, tumukunta Narsa Reddy and others were aspiring for the Congress ticket.
Etala Rajendar, who contested from Huzurabad and Gajwel assembly constitutencies, had lost both elections. However, he has openly announced that he is willing to contest in Parliament elections if the party asked him so. Etala was touring across the Medak Lok Sabha constituency after his defeat in the Gajwel. meanwhile, Raghunandan, also aspiring to contest from Medak as he lost the assembly election from Dubbak. Making the competition intense, he has been conducting meetings with cadres in the Dubbak Assembly segment.
Congress leader Jagga Reddy, who lost the election from the Sangareddy assembly constituency, is a frontrunner for contesting from medak Lok Sabha seat in 2024. while Jagga Reddy was holding no post now, the congress party too had no candidate better than Jagga Reddy’s caliber, to contest for the seat. Narsa Reddy, who contested on Congress ticket against former Chief Minister K.Chandrashekhar Rao in Gajwel, was also aspiring for the ticket this time around. Former Medak BRS MLA M.Padma Devendar Reddy, who is the only BRS MLA to lose the election under the Medak Lok Sabha constituency, may also consider jumping into the election fray if the BRs party president directs so.
