Party leaders said that KTR was holding meetings with the TRS leaders and officials of the seven municipal bodies and enquiring about the progress in works. "KTR wants TRS to win all the ULBs with a huge majority like the ruling party swept all the municipalities in the local body elections held in January 2020. The TRS leader is taking all measures to ensure that party wins majority wards in every municipality. The main target before KTR is to retain Khammam and Warangal corporations with a huge majority.
Local leaders and Legislators are already entrusted with the responsibility of selecting winning candidates in each ward," said a TRS leader, adding that KTR would also conduct political rallies in seven municipalities after the election notification is released.
