Small Parties Give Big Trouble To Main Parties

Usually, any discourse on Telangana politics stops at TRS and Maha Kutami. Every analysis talks only about these two major contenders. But, it is a fallacy that there are only two major parties. there are many other parties in Telangana, which go on to win the seats. Some of these parties are game changers too.
The TRS had lured them towards them. For instance, there were MLAs from YSRCP, BSP and the Left parties in the outgoing Assembly, besides TRS, Congress, TDP, BJP and MIM. Thus, the last assembly saw six to seven parties, but save for BJP, the MLAs from other parties had joined the TRS.
This time around there are many seats, where the contest is triangular. In some more places, the contest if four-cornered. In several constituencies all the three or four contenders are very strong. For instance, the BJP is upbeat now and feels it can play a key role in 20-25 constituencies and is a winnable candidate in about 12 seats. It is confident that it can win at least 10 seats. If it really manages to do that, it will become a king maker in the state.
Similarly, the BLF appears to be quite strong in at least 7-8 seats. The CPM is not just upbeat, but is confident of winning some seats. As for the BSP, it is strong in sme places and party chief Mayawati has addressed public meetings in the state. Thus, even if many of these parties may not win, they can still influence the outcome in several constituencies. These parties are giving jitters to the main parties.
