Adilabad: In an unusual situation, five members of the same family are contesting from Hirapur gram panchayat in Indervelli mandal.

Thodasam Lakshmibai, a former sarpanch of the village, has filed her nomination once again and was expected to have an easy run considering her earlier service. However, her daughter-in-law Maheshwari also entered the race in the gram panchayat reserved for SCs. Lakshmibai expressed confidence that she could secure victory against the newcomer.
