KCR to support Yashwant Sinha in Presidential Elections

The ruling TRS will support former Minister Yashwant Sinha, named as the joint Opposition parties candidate for the President polls. TRS President and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao took a decision in this regard, following the intervention of Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar.

After much deliberations, the Opposition leaders who gathered at the Parliament annexe



for the meeting convened by Sharad Pawar, have unanimously agreed to field Yashwant Sinha. They met earlier on June 15, but could not reach a consensus after the candidates declined.

The election process commenced on June 15 and the last date for filing nominations is June 29. As per election notification, the polls will be held on July 18 and the counting will be held on July 21.
