Reportedly riding high on their overwhelming victory in the Assembly elections last year, the TRS now hopes to win the 16 of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in the state and form a Federal Front with other Indian regional parties on the national level. Accordingly Lok Sabha elections in Telangana will be held in a single phase on April 11. Meanwhile, the main parties in the fray are TRS, Congress, BJP, and AIMIM and the TRS and AIMIM will be having a friendly contest, like in the Assembly elections.
Furthermore the TRS has dropped three sitting MPs Jitender Reddy (Mahabubnagar), Sitaram Naik (Mahabubabad) and Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy (Khammam). Meanwhile Jitender Reddy was dropped for reportedly promoting rebel candidates in the recent Assembly elections, Sitaram Naik was dropped due to poor performance. Apparently the party was not keen on having Srinivasa Reddy and dropped him too; the ticket was given to former TDP MP Nama Nageswara Rao instead.
