Before meeting the candidate, the TRS chief would meet the Manifesto Committee and finalise the manifesto. Sources said that the committee has already submitted the draft copy of the manifesto. The party has almost finalised the candidates for the remaining 12 constituencies. 

The TRS president is slated to announce candidates either in a couple of days or on November 11. Sources said that former minister Danam Nagender’s name has been finalised for Khairatabad.
