Cong likely to secure RS berths from Hyd

In a significant move ahead of the biennial Rajya Sabha elections, senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi and former MLA Vem Narendra Reddy have officially submitted their nominations for two seats from Telangana. The nominations were filed on Thursday, the final day for candidates to enter the race. This development underscores the Congress party's efforts to strengthen its representation in the Rajya Sabha, particularly in a state where it has faced stiff competition from regional parties. With the elections approaching, the Congress is keen on securing these vital berths, which will be crucial for bolstering its influence in the upper house of Parliament. The political landscape in Telangana has been evolving, and these nominations are a strategic move by the Congress to regain momentum in a state where it has historically been a key player, but has faced challenges in recent years.
