CM to address public meeting in Halia on April 14
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will boost the TRS party’s campaign in the Nagarjunasagar bypoll with a public meeting in Halia on April 14 with a specific target of negating any emotional support for Congress candidate K. Jana Reddy. Party leaders revealed that though the CM was quite happy with the ongoing campaign, he doesn’t want to leave any scope for a repeat of the Dubbak by-poll result where the party was overconfident despite the strong challenge from the BJP during the campaign. Mr. KCR did not campaign in Dubbak despite requests from the party MLAs as he was sure of a win even if it was by a reduced margin. BJP won with a small margin of 1,079 votes but interestingly it covered the 62,500 margin with which later, Solipeta Ramalinga Reddy had won in 2018 elections. Many believe that a public meeting by the CM would have plugged that small margin.More Related News
