Hyderabad, BRS on Wednesday declared G Nivedita as its candidate for the by-election in Secunderabad Cantonment assembly constituency in Telangana.
The by-election was necessitated after the death of Nivedita's sister Lasya Nandita in a road accident here in February this year.
BRS president and former chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao decided on Nivedita's candidature after talks with party leaders, the BRS release said.
Voting for the by-election will be held along with the Lok Sabha elections on May 13.
