: The Telangana Jana Samiti (TJS), a partner in the "grand alliance" (comprising Congress, TDP, CPI and TJS), Saturday announced four candidates for the December 7 assembly elections in Telangana.
The four nominees include Kapilavai Dileep Kumar (Malkajgari in Hyderabad), Janardhan Reddy (Medak), Chindam Raj Kumar (Dubbak) and Bhavani Reddy (Siddipet).
The party is expected to contest eight seats as part of the alliance. The total number of assembly segments is 119.
TJS said in a media release that other details would be announced Sunday.
November 19 is the last date for filing nominations.
TJS is headed by M Kodandaram, who was the Chairman of the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC). The JAC was in the forefront of the separate Telangana agitation.
It comprised several political parties, including TRS and various people's organisations.
However, differences cropped up between Kodandaram and the TRS after the latter assumed power in separate Telangana in 2014.
