Balladeer GaddarHYDERABAD: On Thursday, Balladeer Gaddar announced that he would contest the polls from Gajwel assembly constituency as an independent candidate from where chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is seeking re-election.
Speaking to the media, Gaddar said this would be the first time that he himself would actually be voting as he had registered himself as a voter. Vanteru Pratap Reddy’s name is expected to be officially announced by the Congress as Gajwel candidate.
Gaddar said though he had met Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi recently, he had not joined the Congress. “They heard my songs for 45 minutes,” he said. It may be mentioned here that Gaddar’s son G Surya Kiran had also accompanied him and it was rumoured that he was seeking a Congress ticket to contest the polls. “I do not belong to any party,” Gaddar said, adding that he had asked for personal security. He will tour reserved constituencies phase-wise starting with ST and then SC and BC to make people aware about their votes.
