The TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has mandated all the sixteen MPs of the party to vote for Ms. Alva in August 6’s polling.

The party had also supported the Opposition candidate Yeshwant Sinha in the election of the President last month.

TRS MPs have been advised to vote accordingly, Mr. Rao said outside Parliament.

Ms. Alva will meet TRS MPs in the evening, he added.

Alva has been fielded by the Opposition against the ruling NDA's nominee Jagdeep Dhankhar.
