Hyderabad: In a significant development, the Telangana government has introduced a major twist in the selection of MLC candidates for vacant Governor quotas. Previously, Kodandaram and Amir Ali Khan were appointed as MLCs, but their nominations were annulled by the Supreme Court, prompting the cabinet to reconsider the selections.
This time, the cabinet has recommended Azharuddin along with Kodandaram, excluding Amir Ali Khan. The decision to allocate the MLC position to Azharuddin, particularly in the context of the upcoming Jubilee Hills bypoll, has raised political eyebrows. Azharuddin had previously received the Jubilee Hills Assembly ticket in the last elections. With the bypoll approaching, his MLC appointment clarifies that he will not contest the Jubilee Hills seat this time. Further details are awaited.
