  Left Front

On 17 February 2023, CPI state secretary Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao said that CPI(M) and CPI will contest together in the upcoming polls.[5] He also added that the Left parties will ally with Bharat Rashtra Samithi only if they are given respectable number of seats.[6] CPI(M) state secretary Tammineni Veerabhadram said that the Left parties decided to try to strike an alliance with BRS in pursuance of CPI(M) 23rd Party Congress's resolution to unite the anti-BJP forces. But there has been no negotiations regarding seat sharing formula.[6] Although the Left parties, being the first political outfits in the state to announce electoral alliance for the polls, are leaning towards BRS to defeat BJP, they have not ruled out alliance with Congress if they do not get respectable share of seats from BRS.[7]
