Bhartiya Rashtria Samithi Files Substitute Candidate for Jubilee Hills ByPoll Election

In a precautionary move, the Bhartiya Rashtria Samithi (BRS) has filed P Vishnuvardhan Reddy as a substitute candidate in the upcoming Jubilee Hills bypoll election. This action has been taken to safeguard against any potential rejection of the original candidate, Maganti Sunita, by the Election Commission.

This is a common practice in election procedure, employed to ensure that a party has a candidate in the fray, even if the original nomination is rejected for any reason. However, this move by BRS has sparked some controversy on social media.

Some leaders from the Congress party have gone online, claiming that the BRS has changed its candidate. However, BRS has refuted these claims, reiterating that this is a standard practice and does not indicate a change in their candidate.

P Vishnuvardhan Reddy, the substitute candidate, will only come into play if the nomination of Maganti Sunita is rejected by the Election Commission. Reddy is a well-respected figure within the BRS and has significant political experience, making him a reliable backup.
