Konda Vishweswar Reddy, the Congress candidate from Telangana, is drawing attention for all the right reasons. With declared family assets worth Rs. 895 crore, he is the richest candidate in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. That may also qualify him to be ranked as one of the richest candidates in India.
The engineer and entrepreneur-turned politician was elected on a TRS ticket in the 2014 national election but quit the party last year and joined the Congress. The industrialist happens to be the husband of Apollo group joint managing director Sangita Reddy who too has been campaigning for her husband.
As many as 40 members of the Reddy family are actively campaigning for Konda Vishweswar Reddy, reports NDTV. What’s unusual about the Congress candidate is that he has at least three patents, including those on sanitation and solar energy.
