KCR lags behind the Cong in electioneering

At a time when Pradesh Congress Committee president D Srinivas is going ahead with his electioneering in full swing and the Congress in-charge ministers busy gearing up the party cadres elsewhere in Telangana region, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao surprisingly confined himself to Hyderabad making nasty statements.

The TRS president appears to be supremely confident about the victory of the party candidates in their respective constituencies and leaves the field to the pro-Telangana groups and students. He is of the view that the people of the Telangana would be at loss if they did not vote for the TRS candidates. “They have to decide their own fate. I need not go to them and tell them what to do,” appears to be his mindset.

However, KCR has been making pungent statements sitting in Hyderabad and asking the people to defeat the Congress and TDP candidates. He is particularly targeting the PCC president, stating that Telangana state would be possible only if DS lost his deposit in the by-elections. The TRS president made the same mistake of taking the people for granted in 2008 by-elections as well. As a result, he had to lose nine seats to the Congress and the TDP.
