Telangana Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Dates, schedule, phases, constituencies, candidates, other details; All you need to know

Telangana Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Lok Sabha Elections 2024 in Telangana will be held in a single phase on May 13, said the Election Commission of India on Saturday.

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar announced that the polling for Lok Sabha elections will be held in 7 phases from April 19 to June 1 and counting of votes on 4th June.

Telangana, having gained independence from Andhra Pradesh in 2014 through the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, following the Telangana movement, rapidly ascended to national prominence. Traditionally a Congress stronghold, the political landscape underwent a significant transformation with the emergence of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly known as the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), under the leadership of K Chandrashekhar Rao. The name change in 2022 was strategically aimed at the 2024 General Elections. Despite facing setbacks in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, the Indian National Congress (INC) anticipates a resurgence in 2024, buoyed by a strong performance in the 2023 state assembly elections.


Previous Elections and Current Scenario:
In the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, Telangana played a crucial role as one of the opening states. With little change in the state's political landscape over the past five years, it is likely to retain this significance in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
