The ruling TRS on Wednesday announced Gellu Srinivas Yadav as its candidate for the forthcoming Huzurabad Assembly bypoll.
Srinivas Yadav, a backward class leader, participated in the separate Telangana movement. He was a student of Osmania University.
The bypoll is necessitated due to the resignation of former Minister E Rajender, who is now contesting on BJP ticket.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will formally launched the Dalit Bandhu scheme on August 16 in Huzurabad segment. The Election Commission of India is yet to announce the schedule for the bypoll.
