Congress releases first list of 8 candidates for LS polls

Candidates whose names were cleared include Ramesh Rathod from Adilabad, Balaram Naik from Mahabubabad, A Chandrashekhar from Peddapalli, Ponnam Prabhakar from Karimnagar, A Revanth Reddy from



Malkajgiri, Madan Mohan from Zaheerabad, Konda Vishweshwar Reddy from Chevella, and Gali Anil Kumar from Medak. Though some of these candidates contested for the Telangana Assembly unsuccesfully, the Congress leadership is learnt to have chosen them considering that they contested from the same Lok Sabha constituencies during previous Parliament elections in 2014.
