With the increase in the modes of textual and spoken forms of communication, politicians use language and linguistic mechanisms that contribute significantly in building their relationship with people, especially in a multilingual country like India with many political parties with different ideologies. This paper analyses code-mixing and code-switching in Telugu political speeches to determine the factors responsible for their usage levels in various social settings and communicative contexts. We also compile a detailed set of rules capturing dialectal variations between Standard and Telangana dialects of Telugu. %R 10.18653/v1/2021.calcs-1.1 %U https://aclanthology.org/2021.calcs-1.1 %U https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/2021.calcs-1.1 %P 1-5
