The Wardhannapet assembly constituency (SC) in Warangal rural district is one such constituency which was swept away in the Telangana Rashtra Samithi's (TRS) wave during the 2014 elections. With a thumping majority of 86,349 votes, TRS candidate Aroori Ramesh defeated Congress candidate Kondeti Sridhar in the 2014 elections.
The constituency is spread across the suburbs of Warangal, which was a hotbed of the Telangana agitation. Ever since the State was formed, the district has been a stronghold of the TRS party, with victories in several bye-elections.
This time around, the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS), a partner in the Congress-led people's front, announced its candidate for the SC-reserved constituency, for which the TDP was already allotted the ticket. Dr P Devaiah would test his luck against the TRS candidate in the December 7 polls.
