The bjp leadership, according to party sources, has instructed State unit leaders to concentrate on the constituencies located within the Greater hyderabad limits, particularly Amberpet, Khairatabad, Musheerabad, Uppal, Jubilee Hills, secunderabad Cantonment, Kukatpally, LB Nagar, Serilingampally, Rajendranagar, Karwan, Nampally, Qutbullahpur, Malkajgiri, Medchal, and Maheshwaram.
It would be difficult for the bjp to overthrow the ruling BRS, according to a number of party leaders, since the party lacks cadre at the booth level in the majority of the constituencies and due to the lack of preparation.
The bjp once again overstated its chances of capturing seats in 2018, but they ended up with just one seat, four fewer than they did in 2014. Only t raja singh was able to keep his Goshamahal seat, while K Laxman of Musheerabad, g kishan reddy of Amberpet, NVSS prabhakar of Uppal, and Chintala ram Chandra reddy of Khairatabad all succumbed to the BRS (then TRS) assault.
