Sircilla municipal elections | Hyderabad, Jan. 28: Sircilla municipal elections have taken an unusual turn, with major political parties struggling to find candidates even as the election notification was issued across Telangana.
While municipal election activity has intensified statewide, Siricilla stands out for different reasons. From Wednesday, the nomination process began, yet national parties are still searching for viable candidates. Even the main opposition BRS faces a similar shortage in several wards.
Party surveys are underway, and leaders are prioritising only winnable candidates. As a result, political activity has increased across labour and community groups.
In Sircilla and Vemulawada municipalities, Congress and BJP are finding it difficult to field candidates in many wards. Notably, in Siricilla, represented by BRS Working President and MLA K T Rama Rao, the BRS also lacks candidates in some divisions.
Sircilla municipal elections draw focus of major parties
Reservation constraints and high election expenditure are discouraging aspirants. In contrast, a few wards have two or three contenders seeking party tickets from the three main parties.
Despite this, Congress, BRS, and BJP are keen to capture both municipal councils. Senior leaders from all parties have held multiple review meetings.
K T Rama Rao recently spent 24 hours in Siricilla to oversee candidate selection. Union Minister Bandi Sanjay and Government Whip Adi Srinivas also conducted meetings with party cadres.
Siricilla municipality has 39 wards, while Vemulawada has 28. Siricilla has a total of 81,959 voters, including 31,942 men and 42,011 women. Vemulawada has 40,872 voters, including 19,580 men and 21,729 women.
The nomination process will continue until January 31. Withdrawals are scheduled for February 3. Polling will be held on February 11, and counting will take place on February 13.
Election authorities have completed arrangements in both municipalities under the supervision of District Collector Garima Agrawal.
