Recent Post

New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal has said he would “certainly contest” from Delhi’s Chandni Chowk seat in the Lok Sabha, irrespective of whether there is an alliance between his party and AAP. Sibal had won twice from Chandni Chowk in 2004 and 2009 before losing to BJP leader Harsh Vardhan in 2014. Asked about his views whether there should be an alliance between the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Delhi, Sibal said: “I don’t know. That is for the party to decide. There are two views within the party.” Sibal is currently a member of the Rajya Sabha from UP. NCP’s Sharad Pawar is making efforts for an alliance between the Congress and the AAP. PTI

Dattatreya denied ticket, BJP chooses GK Reddy       

Hyderabad: The BJP replaced former Union Minister and sitting MP Bandaru Dattatreya with former MLA G Kishan Reddy as its candidate from Secunderabad here for the Lok Sabha elections, as the party announced the first list of 10 candidates for Telangana. A four time MP, Dattatreya’s name did not figure among candidates for Telangana announced by the party. Dattatreya is representing Secunderabad in the outgoing Lok Sabha. Dattatreya on Friday said he would fully support the candidature of party nominee G Kishan Reddy. Talking to media, he recalled that he had contested from Secunderabad for the first time in 1984. “Kishan Reddy would have my full blessings,” Dattatreya said. PTI
