Hyderabad: The TRS has not yet declared its candidate for the Hyderabad-Ranga Reddy-Mahbubnagar graduates constituency in the Legislative Council, triggering hectic lobbying by aspirants. The last date for filing nominations is Tuesday.
According to senior party sources, TRS had thought of supporting independent candidate Professor K. Nageshwar. But Nageshwar has been reported as saying that BJP would benefit if TRS openly supports his candidature. As a result, the ruling party is of the view that it should field its own candidate, sources say.
