The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), which brought out a list of candidates exactly 50 days before the announcement of Assembly election schedule by the Election Commission on Monday, is planning to maintain its head-start in campaigning too with party president and Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao expected to launch electioneering from October 15.
According to the schedule released by the party, Mr.Chandrasekhar Rao would hold a meeting with the party candidates at Telangana Bhavan on October 15, release the party manifesto and hand over B-Forms to them before leaving for Husnabad to address a public meeting there in the evening. He will continue electioneering on October 16, 17 and 18 too.
The party chief would guide the candidates on the election guidelines and other aspects of electioneering before handing over the B-Forms. He will address public meetings at Jangaon and Bhuvanagiri on October 16, at Siddipet and Sircilla on October 17 and at Jadcherla and Medchal on October 18.
Mr.Chandrasekhar Rao will file his nomination papers both at Gajwel and Kamareddy on November 9 after offering special prayers at the Venkateswara Swamy temple at Konayapalli in Siddipet constituency. He will address a public meeting at Kamareddy that evening after filing nomination papers.
Meanwhile, the party leadership is also focusing on placating the leaders who aspired for party tickets but did not get the opportunity. The party is yet to announce its candidates for Jangaon, Narsapur and Malkajigiri constituencies officially although it appears to be only a formality as it has already zeroed-in on the contestants along with those for Goshamahal and Nampally in Hyderabad.
The party announced the candidature of Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao for Malkajigiri but he quit the party demanding Medak seat ticket for his son and joined Congress. It did not pick up sitting MLAs for Jangaon and Narsapur constituencies on August 21 when the party announced candidates for 115 out of 119 seats.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
