High Command Consultations on Rajya Sabha Seats

There is talk that CM Revanth Reddy is trying to secure the second Rajya Sabha seat for his follower and government advisor Vem Narender Reddy. However, Congress president Mallikarjuna Kharge, son of former Union Minister Shivshankar, has already recommended the name of Dr. Vinay.
