Senior most Telangana leaders D Srinivas and Laxmikantha Rao were elected Rajya Sabha MPs unanimously on Friday. On the last day of withdrawal of the nominations, the election commission declared the two leaders elected for the upper house calling it also Pedda Sabha.
KCR has chosen the two leaders for MP posts recognizing their service to Telangana state. Though Srinivas joined TRS in the recent months, his fight for Telangana impressed KCR during the movement.
Laxmikantha Rao is one of the close associates of KCR since 2001 when the TRS was formed to the cause of Telangana. He has been one of the key decision makers in the party during the intensified Telangana movement.
The two MP seats fell vacant as the term of congress MP VH Hanumantha Rao and TDP MP G Sudharani comes to an end by the second week of June.
