- KCR predicts exodus of opposition leaders into TRS shortly
Hyderabad, June 24 (Maxim News): Telangana CM K. Chandrashekhar Rao here on Sunday predicted exodus of leaders from other parties into the ruling TRS in the coming days, thus virtually confirming his “Operation Akarshan” in engineering defections in the Opposition ranks and file.
KCR revealed this while addressing a huge gathering of TRS leaders and workers at the party headquarters, Telangana Bhavan, in Jubilee Hills while admitting the former Congress Minister Danam Nagender and his followers into the ruling party.
When Nagender announced quitting Congress on Saturday, there was speculation that his close friend and also a former minister Mukesh Gowd and his son Vikram Gowd, a Youth Congress leader, would follow suit shortly. Keeping in view the ensuing 2019 elections and also the growing dissensions in the Opposition parties, KCR once again began enforcing his “Operation Akarshan” to attract these disgruntled elements into the TRS fold.
After welcoming Nagender and scores of his followers into the TRS, KCR addressing the huge gathering on the occasion threw a challenge to the Oppositon parties by asserting that his ruling party was well prepared to face the elections even if it was held well in advance. He also declared that the TRS would win over 100 Assembly seats in the coming elections with the party nominees wining by huge margins. This was also indicated in the surveys conducted by the party, he said and added that he would shortly make public the survey report.
The Chief Minister warned the Opposition parties to desist from playing dirty and cheap politics and declared that the Congress nominees would lose their deposits in the elections. He highlighted various welfare and developmental programmes initiated by his government since the formation of the Telangana State and said that as a matter of fact the state had occupied the number one position in the country. The pro-farmer policies and the welfare programmes for backward classes and minorities has attracting many leaders into the TRS from other parties, he observed. (Maxim News)
