During the election campaign, there was a lot of mudslinging between the three major political parties and leaders of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) in Hyderabad. BRS sought a fresh mandate based on its performance during the last two terms. The Congress, hoping to repeat its recent success in neighboring Karnataka, tried to woo voters with six guarantees.
Whereas, BJP sought a chance for a double engine government to accelerate the pace of development and promised to have a Chief Minister from a backward class. Both Congress and BJP attacked KCR over family rule and corruption during the last 10 years. At the same time, BRS warned the people that the Congress government would destroy all the progress achieved by the state during the last decade.
