The BJP leadership is placing significant focus on the upcoming Telangana assembly elections and aims to announce its list of candidates prior to the election notification. There are indications that the BJP leadership is considering the allocation of more positions to women as a strategic move to counter Kavitha and the BRS party, which has highlighted the issue of 33 percent reservation for women.
As part of this plan, Kavya Kishan Reddy, the wife of BJP state president Kishan Reddy, is reportedly considering entering the assembly race for the first time. Speculation suggests she might contest from AmberPeta or Mushirabad constituencies.
Similarly, Vijayalakshmi, the daughter of Haryana Governor Dattatreya, is interested in contesting from either Secunderabad or Sanat Nagar. Sources suggest that Dattatreya has also appealed to the BJP leadership in this regard.
Facing Telangana CM KCR in the upcoming elections poses a formidable challenge. To navigate this challenge, the BJP leadership is contemplating an innovative strategy. According to reliable information, Kavya Kishan Reddy, wife of Telangana BJP president Kishan Reddy, is being considered as a candidate for the assembly.
If Kavya is allotted an assembly seat, it’s anticipated that Kishan Reddy might opt for a Rajya Sabha seat. His prospects for contesting Lok Sabha elections after the assembly polls appear limited. Opinions within the party vary; some believe Kishan Reddy should step back from contesting in order to focus on leadership responsibilities, while others argue that not contesting might send the wrong signals.
Post-2024, Kishan Reddy’s name is being strongly associated with the position of national president of the BJP. His supporters assert that following JP Nadda’s retirement, Kishan Reddy might be inclined to take on a central role, and his wife’s potential candidacy could be part of this strategic plan.
