For quite some time now, there has been speculation on who KCR would opt for, to be the candidate for the upcoming Huzurabad by-elections. A lot of names were heard in the process, but nothing was declared officially, until now.
A few days ago, it was said that KCR was going to announce Gellu Srinivas Yadav as the candidate for the Huzurabad by-elections, and this has been made official today. Gellu Srinivas Yadav, 38, is currently serving as state president of the TRS student wing TRSV (TRS Vidyarthi). He also participated in the Telangana agitation movement in Osmania University, and even faced several police cases, and even went to jail.
Yadav belongs to the backward classes and is also a local of Huzurabad. He is said to have been opted by KCR as he’s an activist, much like Etela, and KCR is said to be of the belief that Gellu would have the better chance to defeat Etela, who is the BJP’s candidate for the Huzurabad by-elections.
