Hyderabad sources stated that Congress star campaigner Vijayashanthi might contest from Dubbaka assembly constituency of Siddipet district in the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections. Meanwhile after joining the Congress party she declared that she will not contest elections but would work only to support the party and campaign for it in the Telangana elections.
As per report the seat sharing issue with the Grand Alliance is still a sticking point and rumors are that Congress might field her in the Dubbaka Constituency in the Siddipet region. Accordingly another senior Congress leader Muthyam Reddy, an old warhorse is a possible contender trying his luck again and he is seeking it for his son Srinivasa Reddy, should he be denied the ticket.
Moreover this has not gone too well with the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS), as Prof Kodandaram and his party members are keen on a ticket for Chindam Rajender, as part of the seat sharing with the Grand Alliance. Furthermore in one of her statements, Vijayashanthi had mentioned that the seat of Dubbaka would be won by the Congress alone and that there was no scope for seat sharing in this constituency.
