The Congress-LED front, with a calibrated campaign, gives the TRS a run for its money.
United Progressive Alliance UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi visited Telangana for a few fleeting hours on November 23, but it heralded a new, unprecedented social coalition against the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and its founder K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR). “Mothers know how important it is to look after a newborn. It is unfortunate that after the birth of Telangana, your responsibility fell into the hands of those who care only for themselves,” she declared in an impassioned plea. “I am saddened today, the state has not developed the way it was supposed to.”
Her maiden visit to the state came a day after the last date for withdrawal of candidatures, with the final line-up of contestants for the December 7 assembly poll clear. And she set the tone for the final phase of electioneering. “What did the TRS government do for the women and youth of Telangana in the past four years? If at all there was any development, it was only of one family (KCR’s),” she declared amid cheers at the Medchal rally in the suburbs of Hyderabad.
