No more doubts about the ruling BRS candidates for the next general elections anymore. Putting all the doubts to rest, the final list of candidates was announced on Monday. 115 lucky candidates were given tickets for the seats. Sitting MLAs were preferred to have better chances of winnings.

As it became clear that she would not be the candidate from Khanapur, Rekha Naik started exploring other options. The opposition Congress party appeared as a big option and it is said that she is busy making efforts in joining the party.
Her husband Shyam Naik already joined the Congress party. On Monday, Rekha Naik’s husband Shyam Naik wore the Congress shawl in the presence of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee(TPCC) chief Revanth Reddy and in charge of party affairs for the state of Telangana Manikrao Thakre. Since yesterday, a debate has been going on about what would be the future of Khanapur MLA Rekha Naik.
Amid this, the MLA said that she is in the election race from the seat and that she will run in the elections. I will run the upcoming elections and the cadre in the constituency is with me, she said.
Media reports are abuzz that Rekha Naik is making steps to join the party and contest the elections as a Congress leader. As she won the elections from the seat for two terms, she will have a big advantage.
Continuing the suspense on this, Khanapur MLA Rekha Naik said that she will announce her next decision soon and would announce this after discussing it with her followers. I will discuss it with my followers and announce the decision soon, she said.
On the other hand, it is said that the BRS MLAs who did not get the tickets for the elections are looking at the other parties and the Congress party is the big preference of the leaders.
