Background
editIn the previous elections (for these urban local bodies) held in 2016, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi swept all 4 urban local bodies (Khammam, Warangal, Achampet, Siddipet) by an impressive margin. The 2016 elections resulted in the washing out of the Telugu Desam Party and the weakening of the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party.[3][4]
