As the decision on the CLP leader’s name is still uncertain, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and N Uttam Kumar Reddy, prominent leaders in the state, have traveled to Delhi to lobby for their candidacy.
After the CLP meeting on Monday, the party faced a deadlock, prompting KPCC president D K Shivakumar and AICC Telangana incharge Manikrao Thakre to also travel to Delhi and inform the party’s top leadership about the situation. Both state leaders will meet with AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge in the afternoon. Kharge has announced that the AICC will finalize the candidate for Chief Minister by evening.
The Congress party is considering selecting Revanth as the Chief Minister and offering the position of Deputy Chief Ministers to N Uttam Kumar and Bhatti Vikramarka. Vikramarka had previously completed a padayatra covering a distance of 1365 km.
