While aiming for 100 seats for the coming elections, K Chandrasekhar Rao the caretaker CM is also planning ahead to see that he would strategically trounce 40 candidates. The idea is to take care of the disgruntled elements in the Congress and lure them with posts like MLCs in coming days. Their job would be to see that the Congress does not win in those seats where they did not get the seat for contesting.
All these 40 seats will have disgruntled elements and they will be cajoled and if need be, taken care of by the people named by the TRS head honchos. They will fuel them and see that the Congress may not win the 40 seats. If not 40 they might at least stop them in at least 20 seats which would benefit the ruling party.
This will be a backdoor operation and the Congress will be trounced by the time they realise the strategy of the TRS. The TRS chief would use all kinds of tactics and see that the TRS romps home with a comfortable majority.
There are already people in the Congress who are sending in the required info and they themselves are a divided lot. More than a dozen are the contenders for the post of CM and most of them want to see that the other does not win.
