Hyderabad: With less than a month left for the elections, the TS Congress candidates list has been further delayed, and the first list will be out on November 10.
The Mahakutami has changed its plan of releasing the the full list of candidates at one go. While the Congress will release its first list on November 10, the Telugu Desam, Telangana Jana Samiti and the CPI will name their candidates separately.
TPCC sources said the Mahakutami allies had agreed on the seat sharing formula. Telangana CPI secretary Chada Venkata Reddy said the party would take a decision at an executive meeting soon.
Telangana Telugu Desam president L. Ramana said the party was yet to decide on the seats allotted to the party. TS TD leaders Ramana, Ravula Chandrasekhar Reddy, Nama Nageswara Rao and others went to Amaravati to finalise the candidates, and they travelled with Mr Naidu to Bengaluru. The party may name its candidates in a couple of days, after Mr Naidu completes his round of meetings.
The selection of candidates to the CPI and the TJS will not be a problem if they continue in the Mahakutami.
TRS president and caretaker Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao had announced that he would address 100 meetings in 50 days. So far he was addressed only four. TRS sources said Mr Rao may start his campaign from November 12. That would leave him with just 23 days for the campaign, and it is unlikely that he will score the century.
