Hyderabad: President of the Bharatiya Rashtriya Samithi (BRS) and former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) declared on Saturday that former Minister Padma Rao Goud will be the party’s candidate for the Secunderabad parliamentary constituency elections slated for May 13.
The decision regarding Goud’s candidature was reached after consulting with leaders from the constituency, confirming his nomination for the upcoming polls.
Goud, who previously served as a Congress Corporator until 1991, joined the BRS in 2001.

Goud was elected as the Secunderabad BRS MLA in 2004 but faced defeat in the 2009 elections against Congress leader Marri Sashidhar Reddy. Following the formation of Telangana, Goud regained his position as the Secunderabad BRS MLA and served as the Excise Minister. He later held the position of Assembly Deputy Speaker after winning the MLA seat in the 2018 elections from the same constituency. Once again, he secured victory as the Secunderabad BRS MLA in the 2023 elections.
