Telangana Lok Sabha Election 2024: Owaisi, Madhavi Lata, Bandi Sanjay Among Leaders In Fray | Key Candidates And Constituencies

As the Lok Sabha Elections progress across the nation, the focus now shifts to nine states gearing up for Phase-4 on May 13. Telangana is among the states, set to contest for all 17 Lok Sabha seats. The constituencies include Adilabad, Peddapalle, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, and Hyderabad, among others.

In the high-stakes political battle, major parties like the ruling Congress, the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vie for dominance. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) also aims to maintain its stronghold in Hyderabad.

For the BRS, these elections are crucial in solidifying its position in the state, while the BJP seeks to make significant strides in Telangana. The Congress views these polls as a litmus test for the Chief Minister Revanth Reddy-led government.
