Abhishek Manu Singhvi Named Congress Candidate for Telangana Rajya Sabha Bypoll

Congress has nominated Abhishek Manu Singhvi as its candidate for the Rajya Sabha bypoll in Telangana. The bypolls, scheduled for September 3, follow resignations in Telangana and Odisha. Singhvi had previously lost a Rajya Sabha seat from Himachal Pradesh earlier this year.

In a strategic political move, the Congress party on Wednesday declared Abhishek Manu Singhvi as its candidate for the impending Rajya Sabha bypoll in Telangana.

The Election Commission had previously scheduled the bypolls for September 3 across 12 Rajya Sabha seats spanning nine states.

Singhvi is poised for a likely win given Congress's majority in Telangana.
