TRS working president K.T. Rama Rao asked party leaders to gear up for MLC polls.
He held a meeting with party MLAs and corporators in Hyderabad and warned some of them to change their attitude or face music.
KTR said, “The municipal polls for GHMC to be held in 2 months advance. 15 corporators need to change themselves. Get ready for the polls. If the local leaders have any problems, they should be brought into the notice of local MLAs. Due to TRS, one lakh crore rupees were invested in Hyderabad. During the Covid-19 too, the welfare activities of the government did not stop.”
On the other hand, Congress leaders in Telangana have decided to carry out a padayatra in all the 150 wards of Greater Hyderabad to try and reach the doorsteps of every voter and explain to them the work done by the party for developing Hyderabad into a global city.
In a core-committee meeting, All Indian Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge in the state, Manickam Tagore, asked the party leaders to get in the field and connect with people. He said “This is the only way for the party to stop TRS from misusing government machinery and unleashing police force to suppress the voices of opposition,” Congress has also decided to come out with a ward-wise manifesto for each of the 150-wards in addition to a city-level manifesto. The ruling TRS has urged the Telangana State Election Commission (TSEC) to use ballot boxes for the upcoming Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls. TRS General Secretary M Srinivas Reddy submitted a representation on the same to TSEC Commissioner C Parthasarathi.
