Former minister Dr. P Shankar Rao, on Monday, hinted that the YSR Congress would win the Kovvur Assembly seat, for which
polling was held on Sunday.
Although Shankar Rao did not name the YSR Congress, he said that the party "with a Congress name" would win the Kovvur seat. However, he refrained from predicting the results for other seats in the Telangana region.
The former minister also welcomed the
nomination of K Chiranjeevi, Renuka Chowdhary, P Govardhan Reddy and R Anand Bhaskar for the Rajya Sabha seats.
He said that their nomination would send a good message within the party, and that senior leaders would feel ensured that their services would be recognised and awarded.
He said the party would win the general elections in 2014 if it continues to respect the senior leaders in the party.
Dr. Shankar Rao said that the party might utilise the services of K Keshava Rao, who was not re-nominated for a Rajya Sabha seat, at an appropriate time. (INN)
