Just three-four days ago, media reported that TRS tried to rope in Congress leaders G Vivekananda (Vivek) into party. It also reported that Minister K Harish Rao met him at K Keshav Rao’s home and convinced Vivek to join TRS. Vivek is reportedly agreed to join and contest on behalf of TRS party in Warangal by elections. But, the other day he changed his mind and decides to continue in the Congress party. In this context, it would be very interesting to hear the statement of TRS MLC Rajeswar Reddy.

He said “There are more than 25 candidates in our party standing in the queue line seeking ticket to contest in the Warangal by elections. But, the opposition parties are unable to find a suitable candidate until now.”

“It is TDP, which is scared to contest in the by elections but not our TRS party. TDP accepts its defeat by letting BJP to contest these by elections. According to latest surveys conducted by some independent agencies, more than 57 per cent of the people believed that TRS party is going to win the Warangal by elections and more than 82 per cent people are satisfied with the welfare and development activities being implemented by CM KCR in the state. Chandrababu Naidu can’t say that people have lost their faith in our party. So, in this context opposition parties can’t win the by elections at any cost,” said Rajeswar Reddy.

Naturally, people may wonder if 25 candidates are standing in the queue line for TRS ticket, then why Minister Harish Rao appealed Congress leader G Vivek to join TRS and contest by elections.
