Hyderabad : The family of former Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) is not in the fray for Lok Sabha elections for the first time in two decades
No member of the family of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) founder has filed a nomination for the May 13 polls in the state.
This is the first since the formation of TRS (now BRS) in 2001 that the KCR family is staying away from the contest.
In 2009, KCR was elected to Lok Sabha from Mahabubnagar. It was during this term that he succeeded in achieving the goal of Telangana state. KCR’s son K.T. Rama Rao made his electoral debut in the 2009 elections with a win from the Sircilla Assembly seat and he retained the seat in the 2010 by-election.
