The issues in the Telangana elections include welfare plans, state finances, and dealing with rebels within the parties. The key seats to watch are Gajwel, Kamareddy, and Sircilla. In the previous elections, BRS won by a large majority, with Congress and BJP securing fewer seats. However, Congress is hopeful of a strong opposition wave, while BJP's position has benefited from Prime Minister Modi's recent speech. The AIMIM, with its strong support from Muslim voters, is also aiming to win more seats.
