It is one of the Lok Sabha seats which the ruling TRS is aiming to win for the first time.
The K Chandrasekhar Rao-led TRS returned to power with 88 seats in the 119-member Assembly. AIMIM had bagged seven seats.
While Akhilesh Yadav said in Lucknow Wednesday that he would meet Rao after January 6 in Hyderabad, Mayawati has not yet given time to the Telangana Chief Minister.
In a setback to the Congress in Telangana, four party MLCs on Friday requested Legislative Council Chairman K Swamy Goud to merge their legislature party in the upper house with that of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao-led TRS.
Lok Sabha elections 2019: Kavitha said that regional parties will have a greater role to play in the national politics because they can address the aspirations of the people which national parties could not do.
KCR believes that the party will further progress under the leadership of KTR, a press release said.

KCR powered his party to a remarkable victory, winning 88 seats in the 119-member Assembly, just two short of three-fourths majority.
The party looks set to secure almost three-fourths majority in the Assembly which proves that KCR's gamble of going for early polls in the state has paid TRS rich dividends.
KCR's gamble to dissolve the Assembly in September and call for early polls appears to have paid rich dividends this time.
The victory will not only consolidate KCR's position in Telangana but also accelerate the momentum of his party to form an anti-BJP, anti-Congress alliance for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
According to Telangana's Chief Electoral Officer Rajat Kumar, polling will be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. in 106 constituencies while in 13 Left Wing Extremism affected constituencies polling will conclude at 4 p.m.

Reddy also accused the TRS chief of graft during the latter's tenure as labour minister at the Centre.
The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) led by caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, has promised farm loan waiver of up to Rs one lakh, if the party returns to a second term in office.
