A lot of effort is said to have gone into selection of Rakesh Reddy as the BRS candidate for the graduates constituency. A native of Vangapahad village in Hasanparthy mandal of Hanamkonda district, Rakesh Reddy is a BITS-Pilani graduate and worked in several multinational companies in the USA. He returned to Warangal about 12 years ago and entered politics through the BJP where he served in various positions including BJYM State secretary and BJP State spokesperson for nearly 11 years.

However, he joined the BRS during last year, as he was impressed with the development achieved by the previous BRS government led by the then Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. His clean image among youth and collaborative working nature, are learnt to have favoured Rakesh Reddy in the nomination process.
