The Election Commission of India has announced plans to accommodate more electronic voting machines (EVMs) in Gajwel and Kamareddy Assembly constituencies, where Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is contesting, due to the high number of contestants—44 in Gajwel and 39 in Kamareddy.

The withdrawal deadline for nominations passed on November 15, with 70 candidates withdrawing in Gajwel and 19 in Kamareddy on the final day.

These constituencies are in the spotlight as Chief Minister Rao faces off against ex-BRS leader Etala Rajendar in Gajwel and TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy in Kamareddy.

The Election Commission assured additional EVMs if the number of candidates exceeds 16 in a constituency.

Adding to the electoral landscape, the Yuga Tulasi Party, symbolized by a road roller, poses a challenge to the BRS, claiming similarity with its car symbol. Yuga Tulasi Party president K. Shiva Kumar revealed their participation in 68 constituencies, including Gajwel and Kamareddy.

In Dubbak, 30 candidates remain after eight nominations were rejected. Bhupalpally will see 41 candidates following two withdrawals and one rejection, while Kodangal has 19 contenders after three nominations were rejected. The electoral drama unfolds with intriguing battles and symbols.

Telangana will hold elections on November 30th, with counting scheduled for December 3rd.
