Richest MP Candidate Worth Rs 4568 crore?

Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, a former Member of Parliament from Chevella of Telangana and current BJP candidate, officially entered the Lok Sabha election race by submitting his nomination. 

His disclosure revealed astonishing wealth totaling Rs 4568 crore that is making him one of the wealthiest contenders in the ongoing elections across India.

Reddy's affluence mainly stems from his wife Sangita Reddy's assets that primarily shares in various companies including Apollo Hospital Enterprises Limited, Citadel Research, PCR Investments, and Saffron Solutions. 

Sangita Reddy is the daughter of Apollo Hospitals founder Pratap C Reddy. Reddy's personal assets amount to Rs 1240 crore while his wife possesses Rs 3208 crore, and their dependent son holds Rs 108 crore. Besides they own jewelry worth Rs 11 crore.

Reddy's electoral affidavit also discloses four criminal cases against him including a cheating case in New Delhi.

Previously associated with the KCR-led BRS, Reddy shifted to Congress before the 2019 state elections but later joined BJP after losing on a Congress ticket. Despite his political transitions, he has maintained his stance with BJP.

Reddy comes from a prestigious family background; his grandfather, KV Ranga Reddy, served as the ex-deputy chief minister of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, with Ranga Reddy district being named after him. 

Many say that Konda Vishweshwar Reddy stands as the richest MP candidate so far but we have to see who else beats him in the net worth.
