Hyderabad,March 28: After much drama and pull-and-push, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti president, Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao, shifted to the Mahbubnagar Lok Sabha constituency and made way for actor Vijayashanti from Medak.
In the process, they dislodged the TD, which had nominated Mr Jitender Reddy from Mahbubnagar. Mr Reddy is now being fielded from the Chevella LS constituency. Both Mr Rao and Ms Vijayashanti will file papers on Monday. Earlier, Mr Rao was undecided over contesting again from Karimnagar, or shifting to Medak. He filed his papers from the Medak LS seat as a precaution and requested Vijayashanti to contest from Secunderabad.
She said the seat was “risky” and wanted Mah-bubnagar. Mr Rao turned her down. Then, Vijaya-shanti homed in on Medak, and threatened she would not contest if she was denied the seat. Left with no alternative, Mr Rao requested the TD to vacate Mahbubnagar for himself and cleared Vijayashanti for Medak, ignoring warnings from party leaders that Mahbubnagar was an “untested place” for the TRS. After paying so much attention to Vijayashanti, the TRS did not nominate a single woman for the Assembly poll. Angry women activists protested at Telangana Bhavan and at Mr Rao’s residence.
They gheroed Mr Rao and blocked his car at his residence. Police and party leaders had to rescue him. Women leaders covered the statute of Telugu Talli in the Telangana Bhavan. Their protests, however, did not yield a single seat for women.
