Hyderabad: The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) on Thursday announced that N Naveen Kumar Reddy will be its candidate for the bye-election to Telangana Legislative Council from Mahabubnagar local bodies constituency.
BRS president and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao finalised Naveen Kumar’s candidature for the March 28 by-election.
The BRS said in a statement that the party chief took the decision after taking into account the views of party leaders from the united Mahabubnagar district.
Hailing from Mamidipalli village in Nandigama mandal, Naveen Reddy was vice-chairman of the united Mahabubnagar Zilla Parishad.
