Sources in the Congress said that the party was strong in other segments including Achampet, Alampur, Wanaparty, Kalwakurthy, Mahbunagar and Shadnagar. The party has former MLAs Dr Vamshikrishna, SA Sampath Kumar, G Chinna Reddy and Dr Vamshichand Reddy for these seats. In Mahbubnagar, former MLA and suspended BJP leader Yennam Srinivas Reddy is likely to be the Congress candidate after joining the party. In Shadnagar, V Shanker is likely to get the ticket to contest.
