The Congress party is clearly confident of its chances in the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections. This is evident from the party’s recent statements and actions.
For example, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has repeatedly asserted that the party is “winning” in Telangana. He has also said that the Congress is “very close” to forming the next government in the state.
The Congress party has also been actively campaigning in Telangana in recent months. The party has held several rallies and roadshows, and its leaders have met with a wide range of people, including farmers, traders, and students.
The Congress party has also been able to capitalize on the anti-incumbency sentiment against the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party. The BRS has been in power for nearly a decade, and many people in Telangana are unhappy with the party’s performance.
In addition, the Congress party has been able to attract some prominent leaders from the TRS and other parties. This has given the party a boost in terms of its organizational strength and electoral prospects.
Of course, the Congress party faces some challenges in Telangana. The BRS is a well-entrenched party with a strong support base. The BJP is also making inroads in the state, and it could pose a challenge to the Congress.
However, the Congress party is confident that it can overcome these challenges and win the Telangana Assembly elections. The party is well-organized and has a strong campaign team. It is also running on a positive agenda that resonates with the people of Telangana.
On the other hand, after emerging as a principal challenger to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Telangana, emerged as an alternative to the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana where the 10-year-old K. Chandrashekhar Rao government is facing anti-incumbency.
This would not be a major issue if the Congress defeats the BRS in Telangana. The BJP is not fighting the Telangana elections to form a government but to check the Congress which has emerged as a common rival of BRS, BJP and All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen abbreviation (AIMIM).
The BJP is unsure of how much its polarisation tactics can be effective in these five states. This is because the Congress has already set the tone of the polls, which is development and welfare programmes for all sections of the society.
However, the BJP high command is behaving in exactly the opposite way with its regional leaders. Any interaction with them is a one-way exercise in BJP. Fiedling MPs, Union Ministers in the Assembly elections without taking them into confidence, shows a lack of trust on the state leaders.
In Telangana, Rahul Gandhi has emerged as crowd puller during the party’s during his “Vijayabheri Yatra”. While launching a frontal attack on the BRS chief and Telangana CM K. Chandasekhar Rao, BJP and AIMIM for the “misrule” and “corruption” Rahul Gandhi said the Congress’s rival parties are “one and aiming to stop the Congress from coming to power”.
The united Andhra Pradesh had no history of the ruling government winning three elections consecutively. The BRS chief K. Chandasekhar Rao won two elections successively after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.
While promising six welfare programmes for women, girls and different sections of the society, Rahul Gandhi said the fight was between the Dorala' (mukhiya) Telangana andPrajala’ (people, common man ). He assured the people that the party’s programmes of Mahalakshmi, Indiramma Indulu, Guruha Jyoti, Yuva Vikasam, Cheyutha, Rythu Bharosa can make the state glorious. “The Congress Tsunami will sweep the state and deliver the dreams of Bangaru (golden) Telangana,” Rahul Gandhi said during the yatra.
These programmes and promises of bringing back the old pension schemes, pay Rs 2,500 to women per month and give free bus service, gas cylinder for Rs 500, Rs 5 lakh assistance to build a house, 250 sq yards land to Telangana movement fighters, 200 units free electricity, Rs 5 lakh assistance for college students, Rs 4,000 monthly pension for senior citizens, widows, disabled were also made.
Overall, the Congress party is clearly confident of its chances in the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections. The party has a number of factors in its favor, including anti-incumbency sentiment, the defection of some prominent leaders from other parties, and a strong campaign team. However, the Congress party will need to overcome the BRS’s strong support base and the BJP’s growing popularity in the state if it wants to win the elections. ■ #hydnews #khabarlive #hydkhabar
