Thirty candidates in fray for Huzurabad bypoll
The Hindu
Minister Gangula tests COVID positive
With 12 candidates withdrawing their nominations, 30 candidates are officially in the fray for Huzurabad bypoll to be held on October 30.
Main political parties stepped up their campaign even as people were immersed in Bathukamma festival on Wednesday and gearing up for Dasara, a major festival in the State, to be celebrated on Friday. Notwithstanding BC Welfare Minister Gangula Kamlakar testing positive for COVID-19, ruling TRS party leaders and workers continued to main the campaign tempo.
Though Mr. Kamlakar’s absence from the campaign, even temporarily, is a setback of sorts for TRS candidate Gellu Srinivas Yadav, Finance Minister T. Harish Rao compensated by drawing other important leaders.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
