Telangana Assembly elections: Putting an end to the speculation of the merger of YSR Telangana Party (YSRTP) with the Congress, party chief Y S Sharmila on Thursday announced that her party will contest the November 30 elections to the state assembly alone. Sharmila, Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s sister, further said that her morther YS Vijayamma and her husband Anil Kumar can also contest the elections. 

“I will contest elections from Palair Assembly constituency. We will contest elections on all 119 seats. My mother Vijayamma and husband Anil can also contest elections. I am being asked to contest election from two seats. We felt that anti-KCR votes should not be divided so we talked to Congress. We have waited for four months,” she said.
