Congress rebel candidate A Prabhakar Reddy might have opted out of contest in the Rajya Sabha elections at the eleventh hour under pressure from Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, but he had to remain in the fray as it was too late for him to withdraw.
When a person is in fray even for the record sake, he would love to vote for himself. But Adala had no chance.
He could not cast his vote to himself as his vote was allotted to Congress official nominee T Subba Rami Reddy. Yet, Adala polled a couple of votes, say sources.
Telugu Desam Party legislators Hanumanth Shinde and G Kamalakar did not vote for the party candidates, but for Telangana Rashtra Samithi candidate K Kesava Rao.
Congress legislator D Venkateswara Rao choose NOTA and one legislator could not vote due to technical problems.
While Congress, Telugu Desam, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, MIM, CPI and Lok Satta legislators participated in the election whereas BJP, YSR Congress and CPM kept away.
Lok Satta lone member Jayaprakash Narayan put his vote to TDP. Needless to say, he might have definitely voted for Garikapati Mohan Rao, who hails from his own community.
