Pawan nominates his brother Nagababu for MLC seat
This decision comes after Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu announced plans to induct Nagababu into the state cabinet on December 9.
Vijayawada:Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has named Konidela Nagababu, his brother, as the Jana Sena candidate for the MLC elections to fill the quota of legislative members.
Nagababu is the general secretary of the party headed by Pawan Kalyan. He would soon file his nomominations. The party office would prepare the necessary documents for the nomination.
Notably, this decision comes after chief minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu recently announced his intention to induct Nagababu into the state cabinet. However, he is neither an MLA nor an MLC. Such a person in the ministry should get elected to either house within six months of his induction.
In the 2024 general elections, Nagababu was expected to contest from Anakapalli but had to step aside as the seat was allotted to the BJP as part of seat-sharing arrangement between the three-party alliance.
K Nagababu, a popular Telugu film actor, entered politics in 2009 through the Praja Rajyam Party founded by his elder brother Chiranjeevi. Later, he aligned with his younger brother Pawan and got active in the Jana Sena. He contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Narasapuram and lost. Nagababu remained involved in the party’s activities as its general secretary. He has been a strong pillar of support for his brother.
The present MLA quota MLC election will be held on March 20 and the results are to be declared in the evening the same day.
