The head of BRS also indicated that the party will unveil its manifesto on October 16 in Warangal.

He asserted that the BRS's friendship with Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM will continue.
Following the release of the candidates' roster, BRS MLC K Kavitha, who is the daughter of Chandrasekhar Rao, took to X (formerly Twitter) to express her thoughts. She stated that the list reflected the populace's trust in the chief minister's leadership and BRS's governance.
"Our leader KCR Garu announced 115 exceptional candidates for the forthcoming Assembly elections out of 119 seats. It truly is a testament to the people's faith in CM KCR Garu's courageous leadership and the impactful governance of the @BRSparty. We humbly seek the blessings of people of Telangana!!," the tweet said.
