"lok-sabha-constituencies"

Secunderabad constituency has a maximum number of candidates at 45, followed by 44 candidates in Medak, 43 in Chevella and 42 each in Peddapalle (SC) and Warangal (SC) constituencies.

It has been seen in the recent past how welfare schemes or freebies targeted at women have influenced election results, and hence the saffron party has asked its cadres to extensively focus on women voters

Officials said this was a tentative list and that the final list could be expected later in the night.

Apart from candidates from prominent political parties, many independent candidates filed their nominations. Considerable turnout of candidates was witnessed at different Returning Officers offices in the 17 constituencies.
