Local elections were held in the Indian state of [[Telangana]] on 30 April 2021 for 2 municipal corporations and 5 municipalities, namely [[Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation|Warangal]], [[Khammam Municipal Corporation|Khammam]], [[Jadcherla]], [[Achampet, Mahabubnagar district|Achampet]], [[Siddipet]], [[Kothur]], and [[Nakrekal]].<ref>{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2021-04-29 |title=Urban local body elections in Telangana on Thursday |language=en-IN |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/urban-local-body-elections-in-telangana-on-thursday/article34442608.ece |access-date=23 December 2022 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> <br />

The first elections were held in newly created municipalities Jadcherla, Kothur, and Nakrekal.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2021-01-03 |title=Telangana: Elections to 7 ULBs only after Sankranti |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/elections-to-7-ulbs-only-after-sankranti/articleshow/80076976.cms |access-date=2023-03-25 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
In the previous elections (for these urban local bodies) held in 2016, the [[Bharat Rashtra Samithi|Telangana Rashtra Samithi]] swept all 4 urban local bodies (Khammam, Warangal, Achampet, Siddipet) by an impressive margin. The 2016 elections resulted in the wipeout of the [[Telugu Desam Party]] and the weakening of the [[Indian National Congress]] and the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/telangana-municipal-polls-trs-wins-3-civic-bodies-drubs-bjp-tdp/articleshow/51327568.cms?from=mdr%7B%7%7D%7D|title=Telangana municipal polls: TRS wins 3 civic bodies, drubs BJP, TDP|access-date=23 December 2022|via=The Economic Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2016-04-11 |title=TRS wins Siddipet municipal polls |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/telangana/trs-wins-siddipet-municipal-polls/article8463872.ece |access-date=2022-12-23 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><br />
