According to Rao, Congress was defeated in the previous election due to its alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Telangana in 2018.

Sharmila, sister of the Chief Minister and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, also denied receiving any proposal for the Congress Rajya Sabha ticket from Karnataka.

The YSRTP leader made it clear that she was committed to the cause of Telangana and would continue to fight for the people of the region.

"I was always in Telangana and will be in Telangana till my last breath. My future lies in Telangana and with its people," she said.
