Telangana’s ruling Congress has named its state General Secretary Addanki Dayakar and state NSUI President Venkat Balmoor as the candidates for election to two MLC seats under the MLAs quota.
Both the leaders were denied tickets in the recent Assembly elections and were assured nomination to the Legislative Council.
Dayakar, who is also senior spokesperson, is considered close to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, while Balmoor had unsuccessfully contested the bye-election for Huzurabad Assembly seat in 2021.
