Congress and BRS leaders vying for upper hand in poll race

WARANGAL/KARIMNAGAR: With the huge success of the Vijaya Bheri meeting at Tukkuguda, the Congress leaders have in full josh intensified their political activities and are reaching out to every section of the society to explain the six guarantees the party made to the people in erstwhile Warangal and Karimnagar districts.

Meanwhile, leaders of the ruling BRS are fighting back the Congress and glorifying the schemes introduced by the KCR-led government. They say the Congress is habituated to making hollow poll-eve promises to deceive the people of Telangana.

Hanamkonda DCC president Naini Rajendar Reddy told Deccan Chronicle that the BRS party leaders were in a “state of shock” over the enormous response the Congress’ Vijaya Bheri meeting received. Unable to fathom how the people voluntarily turned up for the event in large numbers, BRS leaders are worried about their defeat in the coming assembly elections, he claimed.

“We are explaining to the people about the six guarantees we gave them and we shall hold a programme very soon in Hanamkonda for the distribution of the guarantee cards to every household,” he said.’

Karimnagar DCC president K Satyanarayana told DC that the Congress party’s graph was rising after the Tukkuguda meeting. “There is a good response from the people regarding the six guarantees the Congress party made. People believe the Congress would fulfil these unlike the BRS and KCR who betrayed them with hollow promises,” he stated.

BRS party MLC Kadiyam Srihari alleged that the Congress that ruled the state and nation for several decades did too little for the Telangana region. “They coming again with six guarantees is a joke.”

“How does a national party announce separate election manifestos for separate states? Is this not a conspiracy by the Congress to deceive the people? Are the Congress governments in other states implementing the six guarantees there,” he asked.

BRS party’s Jagtial MLA Sanjay Kumar alleged at a meeting in Chintaluru village of Raikal mandal that the Congress leaders were not able to tolerate the good image the BRS party was enjoying due to the implementation of several welfare schemes in the state. “The people are not going to trust the Congress as it has an ill reputation for corruption,” he alleged.
