New Delhi: Congress today said it would
field candidates in over 10 constituencies in the Telangana
region in Andhra Pradesh as and when by-elections are held
there.
"As a national party, we will contest the elections
(by-polls as and when they are held)," Law Minister Veerappa
Moily told reporters.
Moily, also the party in-charge for the state, was
responding to a question whether Congress would contest
by-elections in over 10 constituencies which were vacated by
TRS and other party MLAs over the Telangana issue.
Asked whether there would be a cabinet expansion in the
state, he said: "Let us see when the Chief Minister comes
with a proposal."
