Congress is in a fix over the candidate for Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat. Its choice is Khairatabad BRS MLA Danam Nagender. However, the party is worried not about his defection but post-defection propriety. It says he must resign the MLA seat he won as a BRS candidate before filing his papers as a Congress candidate. However, he appears to have backtracked.
