A lot of buzz surrounds the 5 vacant MLC seats, with many Congress leaders vying for a spot.
Sources reveal that candidates who contested in the Telangana Assembly elections of 2023 and faced defeat may not be granted MLC tickets.
Prominent figures such as former minister Shabbir Ali, Mohd Azharuddin and Feroz Khan are rumored to be excluded from nominated posts due to their unsuccessful bids in the Assembly elections.
As the state awaits the announcement of nominees for the five vacant MLC seats, sources indicate that only two names likely to be disclosed before the upcoming Sankranti festival.
In a move highlighting the commitment to diversity, there is a buzz surrounding the potential elevation of one Minority MLC to a cabinet post. This will help congress gain minority votes in upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024. Revanth Reddy may even try for two minority leaders getting cabinet rank.
However, the final decision for candidates will only be made after approval by the high command in Delhi.
