With his focus on welfare schemes, K. Chandrashekar Rao holds a commanding lead in Telangana

The Hindu  

Published : Nov 27, 2023 17:41 IST - 12 MINS READ The slogan Neellu, Nidhulu, Niyamakalu, which served as the basis for Telangana’s formation in 2014, continues to dominate the electoral discourse in 2023. KCR made an aggressive campaign against the election promises made by the Congress and questioned the feasibility of the Congress manifesto, claiming that its scope exceeded the State’s financial capability. The BRS has also benefited from Congress president and Malkajgiri MP A. Revanth Reddy’s assertions in interviews that three hours of power supply is enough for Telangana farmers. Revanth Reddy’s success since taking over as State Congress president in 2021 is in getting the Congress in the State to believe in itself, and that has helped the party position itself as the leading contender, displacing the BJP, against the BRS. Veteran journalist and author K. Ramachandra Murthy believes that the Congress’ aggressive campaigning of the past two months has made a dent on the BRS’ credibility.
