You have seen film stars, industrialists and others foraying into politics. Now, even NRIs too are eager to join the bandwagon. Some are lobbying hard and some are already doing 'social work' in their constituencies. Some more are taking the first available flight to Hyderabad to reach out to their people.
This time around, there could be many NRIs in the fray. They are trying their luck not just from the ruling TRS, but also from the Congress and the BJP. For instance Abbireddy of Kodad, an NRI who runs a Youtube channel too, is working hard in Kodad. He hopes to fight on behalf of the TRS. Similarly, Saidi Reddy, a software engineer, is eyeing Huzurnagar constituency Pradeep, another NRI who runs software companies, is planning to contest for Medak MP. He is said to be very close to the KCR family and was in fact offered a party ticket even during 2014 elections. Similarly, Gaddampalli Ravinder Reddy, another NRI, wants to contest against Congress heavyweight Jana Reddy in Nagarjunasagar.
Conress too has its own NRIs. Poreddy Sravan Reddy, who is taking care of the Congress social media needs, is likely to contest from Miryalguda Siminarly, Kesireddy, another NRI, is eyeng Narayanakhed. Gotimukkala Suresh Reddy is planning to contest from Peddapalli. He has already launched several service activities in the constituency.
So, there would a distinct NRI flavor to the elections in 2019.
