The aspirants including people representatives and their kin, who sought tickets from the national party Congress and got bitter results after the announcement of Mahakutami’s list of candidates, are now preparing for their candidature as rebels in the Telangana assembly polls. Even the ruling party TRS is also facing such leaders but, it is seemed to more damage to the Congress.

Few congress leaders had already launched election campaign before the announcement of the list of candidates and now continuing their campaign as rebels and had submitted their nominations including affidavits to the respective Election Returning Officers. The leaders having good cadre are seeking tickets from other parties like Bahujana Left Front (BLF), Bahujana Samaj Party (BSP) and the ruling party in central BJP. Political experts are saying that these circumstances may lead to the defeat of strong candidates from either Congress or TRS.
