Interesting development. But as a voter from Karimnagar, I want to see concrete plans for our municipality's water crisis and waste management. Celebrity campaigns are fine, but where is the manifesto? 🤔

Good to see the DGP taking election security so seriously. Peaceful and fair polls are the foundation of democracy. Hope the police ensure a level playing field for all parties.

Pawan Kalyan garu coming to campaign is a big deal! His entry might attract the youth vote. But ultimately, we need local leaders who understand our *mohalle ki problems*. Let's see if this translates to ground support.

Respectfully, I'm not convinced. This feels like an Andhra leader being parachuted in. Telangana has its own identity and issues. The BJP should focus on building strong local cadres rather than relying on star power from next door.

Municipal elections are about our daily lives - roads, street lights, sanitation. Hope all this high-level political maneuvering actually results in better governance for our wards. Fingers crossed! 🙏
