Hyderabad, April 5 (IANS) The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) Saturday released first list of candidates for Lok Sabha election.
The party, which has decided to go alone in simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha and Andhra Pradesh assembly, announced candidates for seven Lok Sabha seats.

Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, a businessman, will contest as TRS candidate from Chevella Lok Sabha seat in Ranga Reddy district, named after his grandfather and former deputy chief minister Konda Venkata Ranga Reddy.
Manda Jaganathan, who was elected as Congress candidate from Nagarkurnool in the last elections, will seek re-election for the same seat on the TRS ticket. He had joined the TRS last year.
Narsaiah Goud, a physician, is the TRS candidate from Bhongir parliamentary constituency.
