Shankar Rao blames Sarve for Warangal defeat Hyderabad, Nov 25 (INN): Congress senior leader and former minister Dr. P. Shankar Rao said that the Congress erred in selection of candidate for Warangal by-elections which resulted in party's humiliating defeat.
Speaking to media persons in Assembly premises here on Wednesday, Shankar Rao said that the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) has recommended Sarve Satyanarayana as its candidate in the last minute. He said Sarve had failed to secure his deposit from Malkajgiri seat during 2014 general elections. Nominating the same candidate for a crucial by-election was a wrong decision taken by the party. He said that the results would have been different if Congress party would have given ticket to Raja Rao Pratap.
Shankar Rao said that the Congress High Command must seek an explanation from the TPCC on the Warangal by-polls debacle.
