Curiosity grows within the TRS cadre as to whether the seniors, those migrated from other parties, or the beneficial entrepreneurs will be given the opportunity.
According to party sources, social equations that take into consideration future political needs may bring unexpected names to the screen.
Party sources said the names are likely to be announced on May 18, a day before the last date for nominations to fill Prakash’s vacancy.
Speculation is rife that actor will be given a chance in place of Banda Prakash. The TRS leadership wants a leader who can represent the party in the upper house effectively. Sources said KCR wants to cash in on Prakash Raj’s fluency in Hindi, English and southern India languages plus his pan-India popularity.
Though the actor is not keen on taking the RS membership, KCR is trying to convince him. KCR took everybody by surprise by taking Prakash Raj along with him during his meeting with Maharashtra counterpart Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai. Among Dalit aspirants, former minister Motkupalli Narasimhulu and ex-MP Manda Jagannadham are the front runners.
