Tension is prevailing among the legislators of the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and their cadre on who would be denied a ticket in the forthcoming Assembly elections scheduled to be conducted at the end of the year as party president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has reportedly warned that some of the legislators would not be offered ticket as they are not performing well.
In the erstwhile Medak district, which includes Medak, Sangareddy and Siddipet districts as well, there are 11 Assembly constituencies out of which nine are in the BRS kitty whereas Congress has one (T. Jayaprakash Reddy from Sangareddy) and BJP has one (M. Raghunandan Rao from Dubbak, who won in by-election after the demise of Ramalinga Reddy of the BRS).
The nine seats retained by BRS included Patancheru (G. Mahipal Reddy), Andol (Ch. Kranthi Kiran), Narayankhed (M. Bhupal Reddy), Zaheerabad (K. Manik Rao) all four in Sangareddy district. Medak (M. Padma Devender Reddy) and Narsapur (Ch. Madan Reddy) two in Medak district. Gajwel (Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao), Siddipet (Minister for Finance T. Harish Rao) and Husnababad (V. Satish Kumar) the three in Siddipet district.
