TDP will finalise its candidates for by-election on Tuesday 21st February. TDP is likely to nominate seven candidates for Telangana seats. TDP is concentrating on the seats won by it during 2009 elections. TDP will pay more attention on Nagarkurnool constituency where Dr. N. Janardhan Reddy had won. He challenged the TDP Supremo that he is anti-Telangana. He resigned from his Assembly seat and got his resignation accepted by the speaker. TDP is planning to float a tough candidate against Dr. Janardhan Reddy.
TDP lost Kamareddy and Adilabad seats. Former MLA of Adilalbad Jogu Ramanna was successful in 2009 elections on TDP ticket but he resigned from the seat in support of Telangana and joined TRS. Mr. Gampa Goverdhan had won from Kamareddy seat on TDP ticket defeating Mr. Mohammed Ali Shabbir. He has also joined TRS. TDP is reviewing the chances of its success in these two constituencies. There are indications that an outsider may be given TDP ticket for contesting against Dr. Nagam Janardhan Reddy.
It is understood that TDP will target Congress for its deceit on Telangana issue. Scams of Congress will also form part of TDP election campaign against congress.
