Deccan Chargers owner's stock up
HECTIC lobbying has begun among Congress leaders for the Rajya Sabha elections two months away.
One of the strong contenders this time is media baron T Venkattram Reddy ( TVR) of the Deccan Chronicle group. In every Rajya Sabha election, he has desperately tried for a party ticket, but failed.
The only time he could become an RS member was for two and a half years in the ’ 90s when his father T Chandrasekhara Reddy died while serving his RS term. Last time he almost got the ticket, but his uncle and former union minister T Subbarami Reddy came in the way.
According to party sources, TVR is most likely to get the RS ticket this time. First, he has become a popular figure because of the Indian Premier League — he owns the Deccan Chargers team.
Second, his main contender Girish Sanghi, who owns the daily Vaartha , will not be vying for the RS seat this time. The Congress high command might field TVR since the party needs the support of a mediaperson in the state, sources said.
