CPI lobbying Congress party for allotment of Warangal LS seat

The Communist Party of India (CPI) is actively lobbying the Congress party high command seeking allotment of the Warangal Lok Sabha seat to it as part of a seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. As a member of the INDIA alliance, the CPI was allocated only one MLA seat in the November 2023 Assembly elections.

While the CPI is pressing for the allotment of one MP seat among the five Lok Sabha constituencies of Khammam, Nalgonda, Bhuvanagiri, Peddapalli, and Warangal, it is particularly hopeful of being allotted the Warangal Lok Sabha seat.

Speaking to The Hindu over phone, CPI State secretariat committee member Takkallapalli Srinivas Rao said they are confident of being allotted the Warangal seat. “The absence of strong contenders in the Congress party to contest from the Warangal Lok Sabha seat works in our favour,” Mr. Srinivas Rao said.
