TRS in a comfortable position in Huzurabad, says Chief Minister
Amid speculation of early elections dawning on the State, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has ruled out any such plan and said the government has lot more to do before going for a fresh mandate.
Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao put an end to the speculation doing rounds while addressing the TRS Parliamentary and Legislative Party meeting here. The Chief Minister apparently said the government has an unfinished agenda and the public representatives must focus on that. He is said to have dismissed the rumours in just one line. Ever since the meeting has been called, there was a speculation that the Chief Minister might drop hints on the early elections as the government’s popularity was still high.
Sources said the Chief Minister had revealed that the party was way ahead of the BJP candidate and his former Cabinet colleague Eatala Rajender in the Huzurabad bypoll to be held on October 30. The Chief Minister is believed to have revealed that TRS has 13% edge over the BJP as per the latest surveys. The Chief Minister is likely to address a public meeting at Huzurabad after October 25, and most likely on October 27. He said the party’s proposed ‘Vijaya Garjana’ (winning roar) at Warangal on November 15 should be a massive meeting to ensure the complete silence of the opposition parties that have been creating noise for sometime on the TRS governance and popularity. He said at least one bus from every village of Telangana should come to Warangal for the meeting.
