Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy’s camp was disappointed as Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, has overlooked the Chief Minister’s objections while selecting candidates from the Lok Sabha seats for Andhra Pradesh.
It is reliably learnt that Sonia Gandhi turned down the candidate list that Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy submitted to her. Dr Reddy secured approval for these names from the screening committee headed by the Mr Pranab Mukherjee.
Dr Rajasekhar Reddy had proposed fielding the Union minister of state, Ms D. Purandareswari, from Guntur, displacing the sitting MP, Mr Rayapati Sambasiva Rao. He wanted Mr T. Subbarami Reddy, Rajya Sabha member, to contest from Visakhapatnam.
But the Congress CEC, headed by Mrs Sonia Gandhi, decided at the very first instance to not field Rajya Sabha members for the election. With this, Ms Purandareswari is being fielded from Visakhapatnam and Mr Sambasiva Rao gets renomination from Guntur.
