Telangana Governor Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan today approved the appointment of Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) president M Kodandaram and Siasat newspaper editor Amer Ali Khan as MLCs under the Governor's quota.
The State government had nominated them as MLCs under the quota, and Soundararajan accepted the nominations.
In 2018, Kodandaram's TJS had contested the Telangana Assembly elections in alliance with the Congress. This time (2023), he announced his support to the party by not contesting the elections.
Speculations are also doing the rounds that Kodandaram may become part of the State Cabinet.
