K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) seem to have changed tactics, with the Congress back in the crosshairs replacing the BJP. The Telangana chief minister’s recent outbursts against Congress, and the veiled comments made by his son, municipal administration and state urban development minister KT Rama Rao, who declined to name the BJP or PM Modi while saying they wanted to unite with other opposition parties. Due to “blind hatred of any party or man”, she signaled a shift in the party’s strategy.
A resounding Congress victory in neighboring Karnataka has infused the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) with much enthusiasm, which seems to have scared off the BRS. Telangana Assembly Legislative Congress leader Malu Bhatti Vikramarka said victory in Telangana is next. “KCR and BRS leaders now fear that Congress will return to Telangana just as we did in Karnataka. This fear and desperation can be gauged by the statements made by KCR leaders and other BRS leaders. We are confident of winning the upcoming elections.
Congress leaders said that despite a wave of pro-BRS support in the December 2018 assembly elections, their party managed to win 21 seats in Telangana’s 119-seat assembly. Since then, they said, incumbent anti-incumbency against the BRS has grown, giving Congress an advantage.
BRS Politburo member B Vinod acknowledged that Congress remains the number one political rival for BRS. “On many issues, the BJP is our main rival, but in terms of electoral politics, the Congress is still our main competitor. Our strategy will be to counter the Congress, because we believe that the BJP will not be a factor in more than 5-10 seats in Association.
Last Sunday, while addressing a public gathering in Nirmal, where the party’s new office building was inaugurated, KCR launched an extraordinary attack on Congress. As he usually went after the BJP, on Sunday he told the people to teach the Congress a lesson and throw him into the Bay of Bengal.
Emboldened by Karnataka’s success, several Congress leaders, including TPCC A President Revanth Reddy, former Minister Muhammad Shabir Ali and others, have pointed out the glitches in Dharani — the Telangana government’s land records management portal — and have been suggesting that Congress will get rid of it. TPCC also announced today that it will also abolish a contributory pension scheme and introduce a guaranteed pension scheme in its place.
A large number of state government employees appear to be in favor of a guaranteed pension scheme rather than a contributory pension scheme.
KCR raised the issue at Sunday’s rally. Congress wants to reinstate corruption in the land registry system, and so they want Dhahrani to be abolished. You should throw Congress in the Bay of Bengal. Beware of the parties who will cancel all welfare programs by the BRS government if they come to power,” KCR said.
While the victory in Karnataka has clearly boosted Congress’ confidence in Telangana, the BRS also believes that the Karnataka loss has weakened the BJP in the state, and that it will become weaker as more and more infighting emerges between the various factions for the unity of the state. “With the election approaching, the differences between the factions led by Pandey Sanjay Kumar and Itila Rajinder and the anti-Sanjay Kumar faction, will come into the open. This will further weaken the party, said the BRS leader, with infighting rendering it unable to escalate the kind of fight the party has been BRS expects it only a few months ago.
BJP sources said the party’s central leadership has directed Telangana BJP President Pandey Sanjay Kumar to settle differences within the state unit, ahead of visits by Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP National President JP Nada and National Secretary General Tarun Chu to address the chain of from the audience. meetings.
