Of the 34 nominations filed for the Khammam Parliamentary constituency, five nominations were rejected and 29 were accepted by the authorities concerned. Thus, the main event of campaigning has begun on Wednesday, with every candidate planning to cover all the seven Assembly constituencies within the Lok Sabha territorial by the April 9 evening.
With only 13 days left for the campaigning, the leaders are planning to grab people's attention in the short span by promoting their manifestos and promising development of their constituencies besides roping in the star campaigners.
