WARANGAL/KARIMNAGAR: Of the 25 assembly segments in the erstwhile Warangal (12) and Karimnagar (13) districts, the BRS party has allotted the MLA ticket to only one woman – namely to Bade Naga Jyothi for the Mulugu assembly segment.

Many women leaders including tribal welfare minister Satyavathi Rathode, Mahabubabad (Dornakal) MP Maloth Kavitha (Mahabubabad), Warangal zilla parishad chairperson Gandra Jyothi (Bhupalpally) and Jagtial zilla parishad chairperson Dava Vasantha (Jagtial) and Palakurthy ZPTC Kandula Sandhya Rani (Ramagundam) aspired for BRS party tickets from their constituencies in the two districts.

Five women from the Congress party are in the ticket race to contest in assembly elections in Warangal region. From the Mulugu segment, sitting MLA Danasari Anasuya (Seethakka), former minister Konda Surekha, and Warangal DCC president Errabelli Swarna want to contest from the Warangal East segment.

TPCC member Hanumandla Jhansi Reddy wants to enter the fray from Palakurthy and Singarapu Indira from the Station Ghanpur constituencies.

In BJP, two women are in the ticket race in the erstwhile Warangal district. BJP district president Rao Padma aims to contest from Warangal West (Hanamkonda) and Chandupatla Keerthireddy from the Bhupalpally assembly segment.
