While the Congress lost the last Assembly elections miserably, there is enough demand for the tickets in Telangana. Winning or losing is a different question, but most of the losers from the Assembly elections want to make it up in the Parliament elections.
All of them are aspirants but most of them oppose each other. There is no unanimity for any of the candidates. The meetings held for the selection of candidates are ending up for with no results.
The issue might go to Delhi again, and there is a chance that Chandrababu might interfere in the selection of candidates at the Delhi level. MLA candidates in Telangana believe that it was due to the interference of Chandrababu that they lost so miserably in the last elections. Now they do not want any support or interference from Chandrababu.
There are also candidates who would want to take the recommendation of Babu to Delhi for getting an MP seat. Even after the notification, the Congress leaders may not be in a position to finalise the candidates. Prominent MLAs who lost the race recently would want to become the MPs now.
By the time the Delhi decides on candidates, it would become too late for the campaign here in Telangana. This might pave way for a disastrous start as they did for the Assembly elections.
Finally, they might end up losing all the seats. Now they dont have the support of Muslim vote also. With Rahul Gandhi the Congress chief walking all the way to Tirumala from foothills, it looks like the Congress is banking on the majority vote that is Hindus and they are not bothered about the Muslim vote. But that makes all the difference in Telangana and Andhra.
