Hyderabad: As promised the state Chief Minister Kalvakuntla Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday released his party first list of candidates for the upcoming assembly polls.
KCR looks confident of his party returning to third consecutive term and set a sort of history. This despite, fears over some non-performing sitting MLAs, whom he thought of replacing, but ended up only doing so in seven assembly constituencies – Korutla, Secunderabad Cantonment, Mulug, Kamareddy, Vemulawada, Wyra, Huzurabad, Station Ghanpur and Asifabad.
Similarly, announcement of candidates for four constituencies has been kept pending. They include Jangaon, Goshamahal, Nampally and Narsapur.
By declaring the candidates way ahead of polling date announcement, the BRS chief has continued the trend of releasing the candidates list early to kickstart the campaign, which is expected to gain momentum anytime soon.
What is more surprising is that his decision to contest from two assembly constituencies – Gajwel (in Medak district) and Kamareddy (the newly created district carved out from Nizamabad. Though, as chief minister contesting from two assembly constituencies by any other party member is not new, yet his adversaries term his decision as ‘fear looming large on his face’ over possible upset in his native Medak district.
