‘Not in the race for LS’

VISAKHAPATNAM: Minister for Commercial Taxes, Konathala Ramakrishna discounted the possibility of his contesting for the Lok Sabha seat. Clarifying his stand on such rumours with which the political air is thick, the Minister said that the party high command and party president Sonia Gandhi would decide all issues, including selection of candidates and constituencies, concerning elections and he would, as a disciplined party worker, abide by the decision, he said. He gave this clarification while addressing a meeting organised in connection with the party’s ‘sankshema baata’ programme held at Payakaraopeta, about 100 km. from here.
