Municipal elections are so important for local issues like water, roads, and garbage. Glad to see focus on them. Hope the campaigning stays on development issues and doesn't turn divisive 🤞

The timing feels rushed. Terms expired a while ago, and now everything is happening in a few weeks. Does this give new candidates a fair chance to prepare? The process could be more transparent.

Interesting to see the political dynamics in Telangana. The CM attacking BJP, Owaisi campaigning hard... local elections often set the tone for bigger state battles. Will be watching the results closely.

Good that the DGP is involved for smooth conduct. Elections in nearly 3000 wards need strict security to prevent any malpractices. Hope people vote for candidates who will actually work for the colony.

As a Telangana resident, the real test is after the election. Will the winning corporators be accessible? Or will they vanish until the next polls? We need accountability, not just canvassing. 🙏
