There is a strong discussion in the Kashya Party that it is certain that Bandi Sanjay will contest from the Karimnagar assembly seat. It is said that he is already preparing the field to this extent and is always in touch with the workers of that constituency. While questioning the problems of the state, they are raising the problems of Karimnagar area. He also stays in Karimnagar whenever he gets time. It is said that Bandi Sanjay is leaning towards Karimnagar Assembly seat. It is being spread that he has conducted surveys with various organizations in some constituencies on where he should contest from, and it has come to light that he should contest from Karimnagar.
In the last assembly elections also, Bandi contested against the current minister Gangula Kamalkar from the Karimnagar assembly seat and lost. He contested from the Karimnagar parliamentary seat in the subsequent Lok Sabha elections and won as an MP. Currently being the president of the state BJP, with the Kashayadala aiming to come to power in the state in the next elections, Bandi will have to contest the assembly elections. Being the Karimnagar MP, Bandi Sanjay feels that the chances of winning will be higher if he contests from the Karimnagar assembly seat. The saffron sources feel that Bandane is the right candidate to defeat Gangula Kamalakar, who is the minister there.
In the last assembly elections, Gangula Kamalakar got 80,983 votes in the Karimnagar segment, while Bandi Sanjay stood second with 66,009 votes. After that Congress candidate Ponnam Prabhakar is in third position with 39,500 votes. Surveys show that BJP is still strong there. Sources of BJP are predicting that this time there will be a chance for sentiment to join the wagon as it lost in the last election in the Karimnagar assembly seat.
