Following the offer of holiday excursions by candidates, the leaders of local communities have gotten active and are playing a crucial role in persuading their community's supporters to assure their leaders' success in the assembly elections on Thursday. Community leaders publicly supported political parties and candidates, and even planned meetings to demonstrate their support for certain political parties.

They were meeting voters, throwing parties with alcohol and meals, and offering money in exchange for their support. They were also promising young voters a vacation trip to goa with the entire package if they voted for their candidate. According to sources, the community leaders have already offered them some money in order to gain their trust.

However, few politicians are interested in directly aiding the youth rather than relying on intermediaries and community leaders, with the belief that community leaders may not influence their members as much as they used to.

Just before the KCRs meeting in adilabad, BRS' jogu ramanna from adilabad revoked the suspension of a party leader who is leading a community with a significant number of votes, and also suspended his community leader on charges of anti-party activities and supporting another party candidate in the adilabad assembly Constituency.  

However, communities were also divided among the major political parties, and no single party or candidate received the support of the whole community. To secure their vote bank, several contending politicians offered to make funds for the construction of temples and community centres in their villages, as well as government assistance for their caste vocations.
