Triangular contest between Congress, BRS and BJP
The local body elections witnessed a triangular contest between the ruling Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
Following the 2023 assembly elections in Telangana, Congress has strengthened its position in the southern state and is confident of winning the local body polls. On the other hand, the BJP is also strengthening its position at the grass-root level and is hoping to deliver a setback to the grand old party.
Meanwhile, the BRS is keen to make substantial gains in these local body elections after it suffered setbacks in the 2023 assembly polls and 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
