TRS tweaks its election gameplan after Rahul-Chandrababu meet

HYDERABAD: The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has reworked on its strategy for the forthcoming assembly polls in the wake of the bond that the Congress and TDP have cemented with Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu meeting Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. This would also mean reconsidering some of the candidates who are facing the heat of the public during their campaign and seem to be unpopular.
According to sources, the party leadership has taken a fresh look at its campaign strategy to suit the political scenario that changed quickly, without much of it not having been imagined by TRS leaders. While party leaders who have seriously looked into the developments dispassionately have begun to wonder if they are on the right track for a win in the upcoming elections, TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is not rattled. It is learnt that KCR is tweaking his original campaign strategy to strongly drive the point to the electorate that it is only the TRS which is genuinely interested in the development of Telangana.
A senior party leader told TOI that KCR is particularly taking interest in the audio-visual medium too to get the message across to the people. The TRS which had launched a scathing attack on TDP national president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu for ‘meddling in Telangana affairs’ is watching to know what Naidu will do next.
KCR’s verbal attack on attack did not get the reaction that the TRS leader expected. In fact, speaking in Delhi on November 1 after he met Congress president Rahul Gandhi, all Naidu said was that he was unable to understand why KCR had unleashed his tongue against him. From verbal warfare strategy, the TRS now plans to take the battle on to a different platform to put Naidu on the mat. Time and again, TRS leaders have said that it is the Congress which is their primary rival but said they have understood now that it is Naidu who is playing the game for the Congress.
