KCR's Party Names Candidates For All 119 Telangana Seats, Only 7 Changes
The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) today announced the first list of candidates, months ahead of the assembly polls in Telangana later this year. There have been just seven changes, and most sitting MLAs have been retained. "We are confident of winning 95 to 105 seats," K Chandrashekar Rao, who is looking to score a hat-trick in the southern state, said while releasing the names for 119 constituencies. The Chief Minister, who represents the Gajwel constituency in the state assembly, will contest from one more seat this time -- Kamareddy. Gampa Govardhan of the BRS has won the election from Kamareddy for four consecutive terms -- 2009, 2011, 2014 and 2018.
