Another leader Lagisetti Srinivas also tried for a Sircilla ticket. However, the seat was allocated to non-local candidate Rani Rudrama Reddy.
Senior party leader Mudiganti Ravinder Reddy is contemplating contesting as rebel candidate in Jagtial constituency. Hailing from the RSS family, Ravinder Reddy, who contested in the 2014 election, hoped for the ticket, but the seat was allocated to former Jagtial municipal chairperson, Dr Boga Sravani.
Leaders in Korutla segment are also unhappy with the allocation of the party ticket to Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind.

Padmashali associations, which observed the Korutla constituency bandh on Friday, have decided to work against the BJP in the next elections.
