Following the untimely death of MLA Kishta Reddy (Congress) due to a heart attack last year, his constituency of Narayankhed in Sangareddy has fallen vacant.
The election commission has now announced that the by-election will be held on February 13. Normally, the tradition is that when a sitting MLA dies, then the party to which he belonged would get an opportunity to get its candidate elected unanimously.
But KCR has said that the TRS would contest the by poll, forcing the hand of the TDP as well. This may be a wise decision by KCR but is it the right thing to do?
As the TRS already has a majority in the Assembly, does it need to contest this by poll as well? If he goes about things this way, KCR will end up making more enemies than he can handle in future.
Everything seems hunky dory when the going’s good, but when the bad time starts, it tends o be a windfall of calamities.
