Independent candidate Srinivas files nomination 'Jubilee Hills by-poll'

Independent candidate Poosa Srinivas, president of the Telangana Udyama Karulu Sangham, filed his nomination for the Jubilee Hills by-poll on Monday.

A resident of Musheerabad in the city, Srinivas decided to contest from the Jubilee Hills constituency because of a significant number of voters from his community, the Gangaputra, who comprise approximately 20,000 voters in this assembly



segment.

To file his nomination, Srinivas hired an open-top rickshaw for Rs 2,000 from Mutyanna, the rickshaw owner who transports goods at Koti.

He reached the Returning Office in Shaikpet by car from Musheerabad and alighted 500 metres away.

Wearing only a white dhoti and a garland, he rode the rickshaw up to the Returning Office amidst the beating of drums, accompanied by five of his associates.
