Rumors of Rahul Gandhi contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Telangana have begun doing the rounds after the CPI in Kerala announced Annie Raja as its candidate from Wayanad.
What has added buzz to the news is that Congress leaders from Telangana are pitching for Rahul to contest from one of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
Sources said the state leaders have conveyed their wish to the central leadership and it was accepted in principle.
Interestingly, it is in Khammam and Nalgonda along with Bhuvanagiri that there is an intense race among the family members of Congress leaders to bag nominations to contest in the polls.
