Kamareddy and Gajwel Wait for KCR’s Knockout
The next 50 days in Kamareddy and Gajwel will be a whirlwind of activity, as the BRS launches a campaign blitzkrieg to ensure a record majority for its candidate, K Chandrashekhar Rao.
The BJP is said to be preparing to field Huzurabad MLA Etala Rajender from Gajwel and Nizamabad MP Arvind Dharmapuri from Kamareddy. The party has reportedly assured the leaders that if they do not win, they will be given a chance to contest the Lok Sabha elections next year.
While the BJP may try to make some noise, the Congress is in a shambles. The party is silent, uncertain, and devoid of any fighting spirit. Eight candidates, including former MLA Narsa Reddy, have applied for tickets from Gajwel, and there is rampant infighting.
Though there was some talk that top Congress leaders like TPCC president A Revanth Reddy should contest from these constituencies to boost the cadre’s morale, leaders point out that the party’s big guns are busy securing for themselves constituencies where there wouldn’t be much of risk for them.
In conclusion, KCR is expected to win easily in both Kamareddy and Gajwel. The BJP may try to make some noise, but the Congress is in no position to challenge the BRS.
