The BJP and BRS are pondering on what to do for the people to get them into their fold. The Congress has created a lot of hope among the voters by giving them sops as they did in Karnataka.
It is a prestigious issue for the BRS and its Chief KCR to see that they make a hat trick in the state of Telangana. The 200 units of free power and the Rs 500 cylinder are very attractive.
Sonia Gandhi, after formally launching the six guarantees, only rendered the first one, Maha Lakshmi, “…for my dear sisters…”, Rs 2,500 pension per month for every lady, gas cylinder supplied to every home at Rs 500 and free TSRTC bus travel for women anywhere in the state, left the gathering to a thunderous applause.
As the Congress meeting continued, it was all about how the party, which had kept its promises even in neighboring Karnataka, would now give the people everything they expected – succinctly summarised into six key guarantees – houses, plots of land, free power and bus travel, pension, agricultural investment inputs, among others – which, they alleged repeatedly, the ruling BRS had failed to deliver in their nearly decade-long, two-term rule.
Now the BRS and BJP have to promise something more to the voters so that they dont vote for the Congress party. The meeting was a great success yesterday evening.
The voters or the crowd enjoyed every bit of the speeches given and promises made by the Congress leaders. There is a talk that the Congress leaders from Karnataka would finance the election here in Telangana.
But the Congress and the BJP will use every means to stop the Congress from coming to power here in Telangana.
