Summary:
TPCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy, spoke toabout the prospects of the Congress against the formidable TRS and the BJP. Despite having 16 MPs, KCR and his MPs failed to achieve national status to any of the irrigation projects and other benefits promised to Telangana in the State Reorganisation Act. After 9 of its total 19 MLAs defected, the Congress party has fielded its best guns in the Lok Sabha polls. TRS had 16 MPs on its side from 2014 to 2019 in the form of 11 elected TRS MPs, three MPs from Congress, YSRCP and TDP defecting to it, an MP of MIM, and one from BJP, its secret ally at Delhi. So, it makes no difference whether TRS gets one or 10 MPs..
