Senior leaders had a meeting at the CM’s residence where the strategy was formulated, but the name of the candidate is not finalised. Congress in-charge K. Raju, Telangana Deputy CM Bhatti Mallu and State Congress President Keshav Kamlesh were present for the meeting. Deputy CM’s presence shows that they are not taking the Rajya Sabha election lightly.
Rajesh Thakur, Subodhkant Sahay, Dheeraj Sahu and Pradeep Balmuchu can get selected for the Rajya Sabha elections as K. Raju has said that the candidate will be a local leader from the state. The seat sharing for the Rajya Sabha within the alliance can heat up politics in the Jharkhand state.
