After the recent Huzurabad Assembly by election, the MLC election under the MLA quota is an important election for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS.)
The TRS senior leaders like Mr. Kadiyam Srihari, Mr. Sirikonda Madhusudhana Chary, Mr. Takkalapalli Ravinder Rao, Mr. Gutta Sukhendar Reddy, Mr. L. Ramana, Mr. Koti Reddy and Padi Kaushik Reddy are to be fielded as the MLC candidates for the election.
However, a final official announcement regarding the same is yet to be made . The TRS is expected to win the election unopposed as they have majority of MLAs. There are 119 MLA seats, of which the TRS has 104 members, the All India Majlis e Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) has 7 members, the Indian National Congress (INC) has 6 members and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has 2 seats.
With this, it is predicted that the TRS is going to win the MLC election easily without any tough fight.
