The former India captain is the top pick of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) for the constituency. It has shortlisted candidates for all the 17 Lok Sabha segments in Telangana, party sources said.
Azhar, who won the Lok Sabha election from Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh) in 2009 but lost in 2014 from Tonk-Sawai Madhopur (Rajasthan), said the final decision from where he would contest would be taken by the Congress high command, but he has conveyed his desire to fight from Secunderabad to the party.
It was only after the Congress member V Hanumantha Rao intervened, that Azhar was allowed to attend the meeting. Azhar said, "When there was a ban, I did not enter HCA and since BCCI has cleared me, you cannot stop me from attending the meeting." Apart from that, HCA again failed to pass the Lodha panel recommendations, but the president claimed that it was 'unanimously passed'.
