Uttam may field wife Padmavathi in Huzurnagar by-poll

Hyderabad: Another bye-election to the Huzurnagar Assembly seat in Telangana State is likely to be held soon with TPCC president and MLA N Uttam Kumar Reddy declared elected from the Nalgonda Lok Sabha constituency.

As a bye-election will be necessitated with Uttam Kumar Reddy opting to vacate his Huzurnagar Assembly seat, informed sources said Uttam’s wife Padmavathi might enter the fray. It may be mentioned here that Padmavathi was defeated in the December 2018 Assembly elections from Kodad constituency by a margin of 668 votes. Hence, she may be contesting from the Huzurnagar Assembly seat in a bye-election. (NSS)
