As the general elections draw near in Telangana state, the political weather is heating up, with parties striving to make a lasting impression on voters. The ruling BRS party, led by Chief Minister KCR, is determined to secure a third consecutive victory and is leaving no stone unturned in its campaign efforts.
In a surprising move, Chief Minister KCR announced his candidacy in not just one, but two seats – retaining his Gajwel constituency and also contesting in Kamareddy. This dual-seat contest places KCR among the ranks of party chiefs who have taken on this challenge. However, the Kamareddy constituency is shaping up to be a potential battleground, as reports suggest that disgruntled poultry farmers are preparing to challenge the Chief Minister’s candidacy.
Approximately 100 poultry farmers are reportedly gearing up to contest against KCR in Kamareddy. Their discontent stems from the government’s alleged failure to address their concerns and issues effectively. In response to this perceived negligence, these poultry farmers have decided to confront the Chief Minister through the electoral process.
The decision to field candidates against the Chief Minister in Kamareddy was the outcome of a meeting attended by various poultry associations. During the meeting, they discussed the longstanding problems they face and the government’s lack of responsiveness, which fueled their determination to take on the Chief Minister directly in the upcoming elections. The dual-seat candidacy and the unexpected challenge from poultry farmers have injected added intensity into the approaching general elections in Telangana, making it a crucial and closely watched political event in the state.
