Sources said Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh and Kamareddy MLA Katipalli Venkata Ramana Reddy were in the LP leadership race. Though Raja Singh has become MLA for the third consecutive term, his poor command over Telugu language and various issues and subjects has become a hurdle for becoming the legislative party leader. On the other hand, Venkata Ramana Reddy has vast experience in public life and command over public issues related to the State.

In fact, a large number of BJP leaders and senior functionaries are learned to be supporting Venkata Ramana’s candidature.
