KCR and his ministers are accusing the Centre of allegedly forcing the Telangana government to install meters on farm pump sets, which will force the farmers to pay power bills. (Photo: Twitter/@trspartyonline)The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has changed its tactics to counter an aggressive BJP, which has mounted a formidable challenge to Chief Minister and TRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao ahead of the Telangana Assembly polls due next year. In a change of tack, the ruling party has decided that the only effective way to counter the BJP is to criticise and oppose the Narendra Modi-led Central government’s policies, take it to the people in the state and make it difficult for the BJP leaders to face them.
The urgency in the TRS’s bid to go after the BJP seems to be the upcoming bypoll in the Munugode Assembly constituency, which was necessitated following the resignation of the sitting Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy, who switched to the BJP and is now all set to contest the seat on its ticket. If the TRS loses this bypoll, it would give a shot in the arm to the saffron party, which is claiming that it will form the next government in Telangana.
The TRS leaders, including KCR and his ministers, are now picking apart the BJP-led Centre’s policies whether it is related to the power reforms, grain procurement, LPG pricing, or the sale of national assets, often putting the state BJP leaders on the back foot and forcing them to reply.
On the other hand, the BJP is keeping up the pressure on the TRS through campaigns like Telangana party chief and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar’s high-pitched Praja Sangram Yatra.
The TRS camp has also ensured that the BJP is reduced to just one MLA in the Assembly as the saffron party’s MLA T Raja Singh has been sent to jail over his alleged derogatory remarks against the Prophet, while another MLA Etela Rajander was suspended from the Assembly for allegedly making objectionable remarks against Speaker Pocharam Srinivas Reddy.
