The Congress is working with renewed enthusiasm in the state of Telangana. According to the latest surveys in Telangana, it is Congress that has better prospects when compared to the BJP against the BRS.
KCR the BRS Boss has convened a meeting on the 17th to chalk out the future course of action.
The BJP is currently in power only in Madhya Pradesh out of the 5 states that will go for the elections in the coming 6months. With the party losing Karnataka, it is facing a tough challenge from opponents in all five States.
Retaining power in MP as well as winning the Assembly elections in both Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan has become a compulsion for the BJP to regain its foothold ahead of the general elections. The scenario for the Parliament elections will be different.
A similar situation prevails in Telangana, which is a stronghold for the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) led by CM KCR.
After winning the Assembly elections for two consecutive terms, the BRS continues to dominate State politics and is keen to become the only party to have won for a third consecutive term in any of the South Indian States.
Both the BJP and the Congress are vying with each other in the State to make their presence felt. All these major States are important for the party considering their numbers in the Parliament.
The Congress is heading the current governments in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. After winning the Karnataka Assembly elections, retaining power in both these States will give a major boost to the Congress party’s prospects in the Lok Sabha elections.
