It is going to be an interesting battle this time in Goshamahal, one of the important constituencies in Hyderabad, which covers most parts of the city’s central zone, including Nampally, Basheerbagh, Koti, Abids, Siddiambazar bazar etc.
For, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi is all set to field former minister Danam Nagender from Goshamahal in the coming assembly elections.
Unless there is a last minute change, Nagender will be declared as TRS candidate on Wednesday or Thursday.
Interestingly, Goshamahal is the constituency of another former minister Mukesh Goud. It was originally part of Maharajgunj constituency, which Mukesh represented before 2019.
It was organized into Goshamahal after merging some parts of Asifnagar constituency which was represented in the past by Danam.
Both Danam and Mukesh were close friends in the Congress regime and were called Hyderabad brothers.
In 2014, Mukesh lost to BJP MLA T Raja Singh, while Danam lost to Chintala Ramachandra Reddy in Khairatabad.
Now, with Danam in the fray for Goshamahal, he would now have to fight against Mukesh in Goshamahal.
In fact, the TRS did not announce the candidate for Goshamahal till now, because it was trying to lure Mukesh. But since he did not respond, the TRS has now decided to field Danam.
So, it would be an interesting battle between the two Hyderabad brothers in Goshamahal. But since Raja Singh also has emerged as a powerful candidate in the constituency, he will definitely give both Danam and Mukesh a run for their money!
