Ticket aspirants for Greater Hyderabad polls throng party offices

Hyderabad, Nov 18 : Aspirants of tickets to contest Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls made a beeline to the offices of major parties while the election process was formally set in motion on Wednesday.
Ticket aspirants were seen flocking to offices of ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), opposition Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jana Sena and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).
TRS is likely to retain most of its 99 sitting corporators as it has reportedly finalized the list of candidates for all 150 wards. The list is likely to be announced late Wednesday or Thursday morning.
A day after Telangana State Election Commission announced that the polling for 150-member GHMC will be held on December 1, Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao addressed the party leaders at the party headquarters Telangana Bhavan.
KCR, as Rao is popularly known, exuded confidence that TRS will retain power in GHMC. He urged the party leaders to work hard to ensure landslide majority.
The TRS chief also asked the party leaders to effectively counter the false propaganda being run by BJP leaders, especially with regard to the central funds to the state.
