Telangana Is Gearing Up For Early Assembly Polls With Speeches And Rallies!

Assembly polls in Telangana may be more than a year away, but political parties in the state already seem to be gearing up for the election battle.

The opposition leaders are using all avenues to attack CM KCR and the TRS led state govt. The rousing speeches by politicians and the massive public presence at these rallies suggest that political momentum has picked up in the state.

The main opposition Congress is set to hold rallies in Warangal and in Hyderabad’s Osmania University.

The Congress, which is holding public meetings under the banner of 'Mana Vooru – Mana Poru' (Our village – Our fight) in the districts, has decided to rope in its national working president Rahul Gandhi this time. With Rahul’s rally, the Congress hopes to draw farmers and youths to better its prospects in the state ahead of elections.

BJP’s Bandi Sanjay, the MP from Karimnagar has begun the 2nd phase of his Praja Sangrama Yatra in Gadwal in southern Telangana.

BSP leader and former police officer RS Praveen Kumar, who embarked on his 300-day Bahujana Rajyadikara Yatra from the erstwhile Warangal district, is currently touring Khammam district. The former bureaucrat is trying to mobilize people from the SC, ST, BC communities, and other weaker sections.

Founder and president of YSR Telangana party YS Sharmila’s Praja Prasthanam Yatra, which has already completed 900 km, is expected to touch all the 17 parliament segments in the state.

Sharmila wants to bring ‘Rajanna Rajyam’ in the state of Telangana. Sharmila has also not minced words when taking on the ruling TRS and CM KCR. She has accused KCR’s govt of grabbing the land of poor people in the name of development. According to her, only KCR’s family benefited from the formation of Telangana and not the common people.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), looking to expand its base into other states following its win in the Punjab state elections, declined TRS’s invitation to be part of a non-Congress non-BJP alliance and started its own yatra on April 14.

With its recent grand 21st anniversary celebrations, the TRS has also indicated that it’s shifting into election mode.
