Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Karimnagar MP and Union minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar is once again back in the race for the state unit’s president post. Sanjay along with the ex-MLC Ram Chander Rao are the two names that are doing rounds as final choices for the post, which is currently held by Secunderabad MP G Kishan Reddy.

Bandi Sanjay was in fact the BJP’s Telangana president earlier as well, and was replaced by Kishan Reddy in the run up to the 2023 state Assembly elections. According to a senior BJP leader from Telangana who did not want to be quoted, the party high command is contemplating re-appointing Sanjay as he is also a Backward Class (BC) leader.
