Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 6 (ANI): Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan announced Lingamaneni Ramesh's candidature for the Rajya Sabha (RS) seat from Andhra Pradesh on Friday.
Lingamaneni Ramesh will file his nomination papers as a Rajya Sabha candidate on Saturday.
Lingamaneni Ramesh has been associated with the Jana Sena Party and Pawan Kalyan since 2015.
