It is very difficult to predict the mind of K Chandrasekhar Rao the CM of Telangana. People who are near and dear to him are of the opinion that he is already in the election mode.
There is one year clearly left for the election.
There is a propaganda that there is a possibility of changing the sittings massively in this context. If the same happens, those who did not get tickets will have a chance to defect to other parties, including Congress and the BJP.
There is also a campaign in TRS circles that the candidates will be announced six months in advance so that the new ticket holders can go ahead with the campaign.
KCR these days is in consultations with the poll strategist Prashant Kishore. He will hear the suggestions but may not implement all of them.
The TRS Boss who has won several elections in Telangana knows better than the so-called strategists. But right now Prashant is in touch with KCR and he wants the TRS boss to come to Delhi in the coming general elections.
