The grand-old party earlier today also announced candidates for Lok Saba and Assembly elections from Andhra Pradesh.

 

 

According to a report in PTI, competing claims by senior party leaders in Telangana is reportedly the reason behind the delay in the announcement of candidate from Khammam.  

 

Buoyed by its victory in the Assembly polls held in November last year, Congress is hoping to win a majority of the 17 seats in the Lok Sabha polls. Polling will be held in Telangana on May 13.

 

The list comes ahead of the second phase of elections where 89 Lok Sabha seats across 13 states will go to polls on April 26. The voting will be held in Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Manipur, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Jammu and Kashmir.
