Remember former IPS officer RS Praveen Kumar. As the office incharge for the social welfare hostels, he was most popular among the youths from the SC communities and attained a cult status. But, now he is a full-time politician from the BSP. He is busy building the party in Telangana.
If sources are to be believed, he is all set to contest from Choppadandi assembly constituency this time. Though nothing is official, it is being said that his close confidants feel that Choppadandi is the safest seat for RSP. Praveen Kumar has worked as the SP of Karimnagar for several years and had deep connections with the rural interiors of the district.
As part of his anti-Naxal operations, he has been quite active in Choppadandi. Given his deep roots and influence, the BSP sources feel that this constituency would be the right one for him. Some ground work has already begun in Choppadandi constituency, according to sources. However, Praveen Kumar has not openly said that he is zeroing in on Choppadandi.
Sources say the SWEARO organization that he has built over the years will also stand him in good stead. The Dalit population in Choppadandi is in considerable numbers and this section has a deep liking for the work that RSP has done as the incharge of the social welfare department director. There is good will among the general sections of the society too for his anti-Naxal operations, which were hugely successful.
