BJP expects strong people support in Telangana upcoming polls

The Bharatiya Janata Party claimed Thursday that it will be the main challenger to the TRS in the Telangana assembly polls as the Congress is a "discredited and deeply" divided party.

The Telangana Cabinet has recommended dissolution of the state assembly months before the end of its term, a move driven by the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti's hope that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's charisma and a fragmented opposition will help the party retain power.

"The BJP will be the principal challenger to the TRS as the Congress is a discredited and deeply divided party. The BJP is the only party that has a positive agenda of governance and will emerge triumphantly. The triangular contest in Telangana will see the BJP making spectacular gains," BJP spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP, G V L Narasimha Rao, said.
