Putting to rest the speculation that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) could change some candidates among the ones announced already, the party leadership has handed over B-Forms to 97 out of the 115 candidates announced.

Party president K. Chandrasekhar Rao gave away B-Forms along with cheques for ₹40 lakh each for election expenditure from the party to 51 candidates the Telangana Bhavan on Sunday. Later in the day, they were given to another 18 candidates at Pragathi Bhavan.

On Monday, Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao handed over the B-Forms to 28 candidates more taking the total to 97 so far. Speaking at Jangaon public meeting later he said he would make only a brief speech as he had to sign the B-Forms of the remaining candidates so that they could be given to the candidates concerned.

The party leadership is giving two copies of B-Forms to every candidate as a precaution so that the candidates have a spare copy in the event of any errors in filling the details in the first copy.
