After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its first list of candidates for the Telangana Assembly Elections, Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Sunday exuded confidence that the party will show a "positive performance" in the elections.
Earlier in the day, the BJP released its first list of candidates for the Telangana Assembly Elections 2023. "Party has announced the first list for the Telangana Assembly Elections... We have got a positive reaction to the list from people... I believe the final list will be also like this and we will show a positive performance also," state election in-charge Kishan Reddy said. Informing about the leaders who have been designated to campaign for the party in Telangana, he said, "On 27 October Union Home Minister Amit Shah will be coming here for the campaign. On 28 and 29 October Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath will be coming here for the campaign. Several other leaders will also come here for the campaign." Calling Congress and BRS as twins, the Union Minister said that the party's strategy for the election campaign is that every worker of the party should meet the public. The party has fielded MP Soyam Bapu Rao from Boath, MP Arvind Dharmapuri from Koratla and national general secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar from Karimnagar. MLA T Raja Singh will contest the poll from Goshamahal and Eatala Rajender from Huzurabad and Gajwel assembly constituency. Earlier in the day, the party revoked the suspension of Telangana MLA T Raja Singh following his reply to the show-cause notice issued by the party after a row was triggered by his remarks against Prophet Muhammad. The MLA was suspended in August and issued a show-cause notice. The upcoming assembly election in Telangana scheduled to take place on November 30 is poised for a triangular contest, with the BJP, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and the Congress as the major contenders. In the previous Assembly elections in 2018, the BRS won 88 of the 119 seats, hogging 47.4 per cent of the total vote share. The Congress finished a distant second with 19 seats and a vote share of 28.7 per cent. The counting of votes will take place on December 3 in all the states. (ANI)
