Congress picks Singhvi, Vem Narender for RS seats
A. Revanth Reddy, the Chief Minister of Telangana, has seen a significant boost in his political standing after Vem Narender Reddy, his close aide and Advisor to the Government, was named as one of the two candidates for the Rajya Sabha elections by the Congress central leadership. The selection of Narender Reddy is viewed as a strategic move to consolidate support within the Reddy community and reward his loyalty following his switch from the TDP to the Congress in 2017. The decision comes after the party previously overlooked Reddy leaders in previous Rajya Sabha elections.
