BJP names T.N. Vamshi Tilak as candidate for Secunderabad cantonment bypoll, with Congress and BRS also fielding candidates.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has named T.N. Vamshi Tilak as its candidate for the Secunderabad cantonment assembly by poll. The byelection to Cantonment was necessitated by the demise of sitting MLA G Lasya Nanditha of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in a road accident on Outer Ring Road (ORR) on February 23 this year. The Congress has given ticket to Sriganesh Narayanan, formerly with the BJP, and the BRS to Nanditha’s sister Gaini Niveditha.
Nanditha had defeated Sriganesh Narayanan, who had contested as the BJP Candidate last year. He joined the Congress last month and secured the party ticket.
The High Court of Karnataka has termed as “appalling” the conduct of the officials of the Karnataka Building and Other Construction Workers’ Welfare Board for “keeping in cold storage” for 10 months, the applications by daughters of two construction labourers seeking release of a meagre amount from the Labour Welfare Fund for their college fees as per the norms.
