With the Telugu Desam Party entering into an alliance with the Congress as part of Maha Kootami and contesting a good number of seats, mostly in the constituencies having sizeable number of settlers from Andhra and Rayalaseema, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi has decided to go all out to deny any advantage to the TDP.
As part of the strategy, TRS president and caretaker chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has entrusted the task of wooing settlers to his son K T Rama Rao.
So, in the next one week, KTR will be extensively travelling in as many as 17 assembly constituencies in Greater Hyderabad, which are dominated by settlers.
Starting with Uppal and Malkajgiri on Wednesday, KTR will tour two constituencies every day till November 29.
They include, Maheshwaram, L B Nagar, Secunderabad, Cantonment, Sanathnagar, Jubilee Hills, Qutbullapur, Kukatpalli, Khairatabad, Sherilingampally and Patancheru, besides BJP-dominated areas of Goshamahal, Amberpet and Musheerabad.
KTR will conduct road shows and address public meetings, besides meeting representatives of Andhra associations.
“He will explain how the TRS government had ensured their safety and security in Hyderabad, besides taking care of their business and commercial interests. He will also convince them that the remarks of KCR against TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu had nothing do with the Andhra settlers,” a TRS leader said.
