Campaign style gets clearer as election heat picks up in Telangana
The HinduAs the election campaign picks pace in Telangana and just three days left for the nominations to start, the haze around the agenda with which they are reaching out to the people is getting clear. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has taken it upon himself to galvanise the cadre of the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi and rejuvenate the candidates’ campaign with a series of meetings covering three constituencies every day. Telangana’s stable governance will be lost forever if the Congress is voted to power and all the major schemes would come to an end, is what is being propagated by KCR in his speeches. Repeatedly asking the people in the public meetings whether they wish the continuance of Rythu Bandhu and 24-hour power supply, KCR is urging the people to reply with a loud ‘yes’ trying to project that the Congress would end these facilities. While the Congress cadre at the village level is taking the message to every household, the senior leadership led by TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy and CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka are harping on the ‘family rule’ that has taken away the self-respect of the people.
