Telangana Chief Minister and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao has put to rest the speculation about early elections to the State Assembly as he did during the first term, stating that he would not go for early polls this time under any circumstances as “there’s no need for it”.
Quoting a recent survey, Mr. Rao said a study was done in 30 Assembly constituencies and the report indicated that the TRS would win 29 seats comfortably and would lose one seat with a margin of 0.3% votes. “First time we (TRS) won 63 seats, second time it was 88 and this time it would be 95-105 seats,” he said, speaking after the TRS Legislature Party and extended executive committee meeting chaired by him at the party headquarters here, Telangana Bhavan.
Last time there was need for continuity of governance as most of the works taken up by the TRS government were not fully completed. However, there is no such need this time as all major projects and programmes are complete except for projects such as Palamuru-Rangareddy lift irrigation scheme.
