The chief minister has sent this file to the Governor of Andhra Pradesh Kiran Kumar Reddy.

As soon as the Election Commission gives approval, they would give permission to the government, added Dwivedi.
The revised four names in the list include veteran journalist, P Vijaya Babu, former IPS officers S Prabhakar Reddy and M Ratan, and Indian Forest Service office Madhukar Raj. (Phani)
