BJP List Out, Telangana BJP Chief Unlikely to Contest In Assembly Polls

G Kishan Reddy, a Lok Sabha member from Secunderabad, had contested from Amberpet in the 2018 polls and lost to the Bharat Rashtra Samithi's K Venkatesh.

Two BJP Members of Parliament G Kishan Reddy and K Laxman, who had earlier unsuccessfully contested for the Telangana Assembly, have been kept aside for the November 30 polls, according to the list of 35 candidates announced by the party on Thursday.

The BJP has fielded Lankala Deepak Reddy against former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin from the Congress in the Jubilee Hills constituency.

With the fresh list, the BJP has so far released 88 names for the polls of the state assembly, which has 119 seats.
