BSP Fields Telangana Chief R S Praveen Kumar For Nagarkurnool

As is known, the opposition BRS in Telangana has forged an alliance with the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. As part of the alliance, the BRS has allotted two seats to the BSP.

The BRS issued a statement officially in this regard on Friday.

As part of the alliance, the BSP will contest from the Nagarkurnool and Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituencies in the State. And the BSP announced that its Telangana chief R S Praveen Kumar would contest for the Nagarkurnool seat.

The BSP is yet to take a decision on who will contest for the Hyderabad seat.

So far, the BRS has finalised candidates for 11 of the 17 Lok Sabha seats from Telangana. Since the Nagarkurnool and Hyderabad Lok Sabha seats have been allotted to the BSP as part of the alliance, the party is yet to finalise candidates for four more seats (Secunderabad, Nalgonda, Bhuvanagiri and Medak). Former CM and BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao is expected to announce the names of candidates for these remaining constituencies after the Congress list is out.

KCR is also working on the schedule of election rallies as the process of selection of candidates is nearing completion. The BRS is planning to hold a public meeting in the Chevella Lok Sabha constituency on March 23. KCR has also instructed BRS leaders to hold public meetings and coordination meetings locally wherever the candidates have been finalised.
