As the poll date draws closer, many TDP supporters who had been hiding away like rats for all these years are now emerging and appearing in the media.
Among them, some are actively campaigning for the TDP, expressing their rhetoric against Jagan Mohan Reddy, while others are presenting pre-poll surveys in their trademark style.
These individuals, who foul played with their influence in society, had gone into hiding during KCR's tenure in Telangana and the last five years of Jagan Mohan Reddy's rule in Andhra Pradesh.
With the election date just 11 days away, they are now resurfacing and making efforts to show their presence, assuming they can share the credit if the TDP+ alliance emerges victorious.
It's akin to a last-minute attempt, reminiscent of buying a lottery ticket. With TRS not in power in Telangana, they seem to have regained some moral strength.
