For two consecutive assembly polls, Bharat Rashtra Samithi president and incumbent chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao has emerged victorious from the Gajwel constituency.

The decision comes amid the incumbent CM being challenged by former BRS member and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender in Gajwel on a BJP ticket. Meanwhile, in Kamareddy, KCR is set to face Telangana Congress chief Revanth Reddy.
