Parties Focus on Ticket Allocation Strategy
As nominations continue, political parties have shifted their focus to ticket distribution. Senior leaders are holding continuous discussions to finalise candidates.

Major Parties Prepare for Ward-Level Battles
Across Telangana, elections will be held for all 2,996 wards and divisions. Parties such as Congress, BRS, BJP, MIM, and Left parties have several leaders ready to contest. However, most parties have avoided early announcements to prevent internal dissatisfaction and rebellion.
