BJP’s Parliamentary Party held discussions and finalised names of contestants in over nine assembly segments. They are Ale Jitendra for Malakpet, Shahjadi for Chandrayanagutta, Uma Mahendra for Charminar, Roop Raj for Yakutpura and Haneef Ali for Bahadurpura, Yoganand for Serilingampally, M. Kanta Rao for Kukatpally, Ashok Goud for Ibrahimpatnam and Baddam Bal Reddy for Rajendranagar. The party leaders have held elaborate discussions to finalise these names and the list will be announced soon.
As there are too many serious contenders, the BJP has decided to hold further discussions on assembly segments which are Secunderabad, Jubilee Hills, Sanathnagar, Nampalli, Qutballapur, Cantonement, Maheswaram and Chevella. BJP cadres are in an upbeat mood after the recent elections meetings of their president Amit Shah who has launched unsparing criticism of KCR, Congress, TDP and MIM.
