Soyam Bapu Rao recently said if he does not get the BJP ticket, he would chart his own course, hinting thereby he can contest as a rebel.
The BJP released its second list for six Lok Sabha seats in Telangana. Soyam Bapu Rao MP was dropped and his Adilabad ticket went to BRS turncoat Godam Nagesh. National vice-president DK Aruna got the ticket for Mahabubnagar. Gomasa Srinivas (Peddapally), M Raghunandan Rao (Medak), Shanampudi Saidireddy (Nalgonda) and Azmeera Seetaram Naik (Mahabubabad) are the others.
