Hyderabad: The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee on Thursday announced a list of 20 star campaigners for the upcoming municipal elections, signalling an aggressive outreach to urban voters.

The campaign will be spearheaded by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Vikramarka, with all ministers included in the line-up. Party leaders are expected to address rallies and public meetings across municipalities in the run-up to polling.

Municipal elections are scheduled for February 11 in 116 municipalities and seven municipal corporations, with counting set for February 13. The nomination process has concluded, and the final list of candidates will be published on February 3 after scrutiny and withdrawals.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has been excluded from the current election schedule, as its term ends on February 10. There is also speculation this being contextual interpretation, not part of the original announcement that GHMC may be reorganised into multiple corporations after its term expires.

Analysis: By fielding its entire leadership as star campaigners, the Congress appears keen to consolidate its urban footprint early. With GHMC polls pending, the party’s performance in smaller cities could shape momentum for future civic contests.
