Telangana MLC Elections: Polling For Three Seats On Feb 27

Congress Party’s Efforts
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and State Congress President B. Mahesh Kumar Goud canvassed in support of the party candidate. Goud held a video conference with party mandal unit presidents on Wednesday and discussed the party’s preparedness for the polling, Congress sources said.
