Hyderabad : The Lok Sabha election campaign is gathering steam in Telangana as all three major parties – the Congress, BRS and BJP – have intensified their campaigns.
Leader of Opposition and BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao is leading the attack from the front against both the Congress and the BJP. He has already addressed two public meetings at Karimnagar and Chevella, to be followed by the third one at Sultanpur of erstwhile Medak district on April 16.
He is scheduled to address at least seven more public meetings, besides going on roadshows and holding street corner meetings, meeting farmers, weavers and other sections across the State.
The BJP too launched its poll campaign across the State, with its candidates reaching out voters at the ground level. The party’s campaign strategy has been aggressive with Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing three public meetings in three months.
Initially, the BJP planned over 25 public meetings with national leaders including Modi, Amit Shah and a slew of union Ministers, Chief Ministers from BJP-ruled States and other national leaders.
The Congress has been trailing behind among all, with three of its candidates still pending finalisation in crucial parliamentary constituencies like Karimnagar and Khammam.
Though TPCC president and Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy visited Delhi at least a dozen times in the last three months, a final decision is yet to come.
On Sunday, AICC general secretary KC Venugopal chaired party meetings with Revanth Reddy and others to strategise the Lok Sabha campaign.
