KCR sure of winning 100 Assembly seats

TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday held lengthy discussions with all 105 contestants. The party will hold similar meetings in Warangal, Khammam and Karimnagar on dates that will be finalised shortly, he said. 

He told the candidates that there was no dissidence in the party and if there was, the district in-charge ministers would take care of it. He said the TRS did not recognise the Prajakutami or alliance of Opposition parties as a serious challenge. 

Holding a sort of electoral college session for the candidates, Mr Rao is said to have told them to intensify their campaigning, rebut Opposition charges that the TRS has copied its manifesto from theirs.

With just 45 days of campaigning left



before the Assembly elections in the state, Mr Rao issued a ‘fiat’ to candidates not to be seen in Hyderabad and told them to reach out to the maximum number of voters, and highlight the development activities of the TRS administration. 

Mr Rao called each contestant and disclosed his/her strengths and weaknesses and urged them to improve their performance.

Mr Rao exhorted the candidates to meet every voter and tell them about the schemes the government had implemented for the greater good of society. It is estimated that every constituency has about 60,000 beneficiaries apart from Rythu Bandhu beneficiaries, he said.

Mr Rao has set a target of winning 100 seats.
