EXCITEMENT is palpable in the ruling BRS circles as Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is likely to announce the first list of candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections on Monday at the BRS Bhavan here. Several leaders are on the edge as they are not sure whether they will find their names in the list or not.

The BRS chief after an extensive exercise is learnt to have finalised the list of candidates for almost 90 percent of Assembly constituencies. Rao got a survey conducted on the performance of his party MLAs before finalising the list. He is expected to deal with the remaining 10 percent seats where the candidates are weak or bogged down by internal bickerings later.
