Telangana Congress trolled for typo in announcing candidates
According to the media-released list of 14 candidates with the undersignature of AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal, Dr. Suguna Kumari Chelimala has been nominated to fill Athram Suguna's seat in the adilabad Parliament reserved for ST. However, the front-runner for the peddapalli ticket was Suguna Kumari, a two-time member of parliament. She is also a part of the sc community.
But the party acknowledged the misspelling in a press release after recognizing it was a mistake on the list. "The name of the adilabad portion was misspelled, and it has been fixed. Athram Suguna is the candidate's name, according to the announcement. The statement was a great comfort to Suguna, a former teacher who is now a politician.
It is rumoured that khanapur MLA Vedma Bojju and responsible minister Seethakka had supported her nomination.
