The Congress High Command has announced the name of Narayanan Sri Ganesh as its candidate for the Secunderabad Cantonment Assembly by-election.
In a release, AICC General Secretary K C Venugopal said that the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had approved the candidature of Ganesh.
Ganesh recently joined the Congress from the Bharathiya Janatha Party (BJP).
The Cantonment seat became vacant due to the sudden demise of sitting MLA Lasya Nandita, who died in a road accident on the Outer Ring Road at Patancheru on February 23.
