Vidyasagar Rao had served for a long duration as MLA from Metpally in the neighbouring Karimnagar district, which now comes under the Nizamabad Parliamentary constituency limits.
A BJP leader said on the condition of anonymity that they would abide by the decision of the party high command if Mr Javadekar is fielded from Nizamabad.
Meanwhile, there is a sizeable number of Marathi speaking people spread across Nizamabad Parliamentary constituency. This would be an advantage for Mr Javadekar who he belongs to Pune.
