Here is the list of nearly 20 family's and their family memebers of AP Congress who are willing to contest from various Assembly and Parliament seats.
When many leaders of Congress say that CONGRESS IS A FAMILY, we never know that it really means contesting MLA and MP seats by the family members of only the senior leaders in the Party. As the race for the Congress tickets in the general elections gathered momentum, kith and kin of several senior ruling party leaders are trying their luck in Andhra Pradesh.
Over 20 families of Congress leaders in various combinations like father-son-daughter, husband-wife, brothers and brother-sister are eyeing the ticket for the Assembly or the Lok Sabha.
Few of them are:
