He added that TRS and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would have no relevance in the Lok Sabha polls. “Even if KCR wins all 16 Lok Sabha seats as he is claiming now, he will not be able to form the government at the Centre. “The minimum income guarantee scheme proposed by Rahul Gandhi is revolutionary,” he said. As a result, Congress has a clear edge over other political parties in the state. Therefore, people should be properly briefed that voting for TRS is like voting for BJP,” Khuntia said.

HYDERABAD: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president N Uttam Kumar Reddy on Saturday said the party has an edge over TRS and BJP in Telangana as the ensuing Lok Sabha polls are being projected as a contest between Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narender Modi.“While TRS is a regional party, the BJP is not strong in Telangana. As a result, Congress has a clear edge over other political parties in the state. Congress has a history of making strong comebacks and the ensuing Lok Sabha election is an opportunity to prove it,” he said addressing party leaders from Nagarkurnool, Mahabubnagar, Khammam, Mahabubabad Nalgonda and Bhongir Lok Sabha constituencies in separate meetings on the second day of the brainstorming on Saturday.Uttam alleged that TRS has contaminated the election process in Telangana.“Modi government has created a divide among people on religious lines. Targeting innocent people on the basis of their eating or dressing habits was unheard of in times of previous governments. BJP government has turned the atmosphere across the country too volatile and sensitive. This can be changed only if Rahul Gandhi becomes the next prime minister,” Uttam added.AICC general secretary in-charge of Telangana RC Khuntia asked Congress workers to take the party’s manifesto to people in an aggressive manner. “The minimum income guarantee scheme proposed by Rahul Gandhi is revolutionary,” he said. He added that TRS and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would have no relevance in the Lok Sabha polls. “Even if KCR wins all 16 Lok Sabha seats as he is claiming now, he will not be able to form the government at the Centre. He will certainly join or support the BJP-led front. Therefore, people should be properly briefed that voting for TRS is like voting for BJP,” Khuntia said.
