Why KCR Announced Candidates In Telangana Before Poll Dates | Read

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's move to announce a majority of his party candidates for the state elections that are yet to be announced, is a mark of confidence, leaders of his party said. Its full measure is repeating all the sitting members barring seven, they said.  The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi has announced candidates for 115 of the 119 seats in the state assembly.  So far, only seven sitting MLAs appears to have been dropped.  "Our estimate is we will win 95-105 seats. Not just MLA, even MP seats. We want to win 17 (Lok Sabha) seats. We and MIM are friendly parties," Mr Rao told reporters today.
