The Nellore Lok Sabha by-election has taken an interesting turn with the Congress fielding heavyweight Dr T. Sub-barami Reddy as its ca-ndidate to take on Mek-apati Rajamohan Red-dy, the YSR Congress candidate, whose resignation from the party caused the by-election.
Mr Subbarami Reddy is a senior parliamentarian, and well-known industrialist. On Friday he met Congress presid-ent Sonia Gandhi at her residence.
“Soniaji has asked me to contest and I’ve agreed. I’m declaring right now that the Congress will win the Nellore seat,” he said.
