Bihar to electrify Warangal campaign

Bihar changed the complexion of the   bypoll campaign for the Warangal Lok Sabha constituency. The resounding victory of Grand Alliance led by chief minister Nitish Kumar and debacle of BJP is all set to  occupy the centre stage in the campaign for Warangal,  which is 1500 km  from the  epicenter of yesterday’s earth shaking development. Since Sunday morning, when trends of counting started pouring in, Bihar has become buzz word in  every political meeting in the Constituency, which is scheduled to go to poll on November 21.   Bihar sharpened both tongues and tunes  of Congress.  The T-Congress twisted the Bihar election result and redirected it towards Telanga Rashtra Samiti supremo and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. The party calling upon the people to see Modi in KCR.

Against the backdrop of the clear victory for the party and its alliance in Bihar,  Congress  was quick to grab the opportunity to attack KCR.  Entire who’s who of Telangana Congress has descended on  Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday. The galaxy included former union minister S Jaipal Reddy,  Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Ra. TPCC president  N Uttam Kumar Reddy, leader of opposition K Jana Reddy, former Nizambad MP Madhu Yaski, leader of opposition in legislative council Md Ali Shabbr etc. They  launched a  frontal attack on  chief minister KCR and his style of governance. Jaipal Reddy said Bihar echoes would be felt in Warangal as well and Congress was sure to win the election. Stating that it was not an ordinary victory for Grand Alliance, Bihar people hunted Prime Modi out of Bihar, in which the PM campaigned so extensively  ignoring his status in the national politics. PCC president Uttam said KCR and Modi were identical in their  politics and KCR also would meet the same fate in Warangal like Modi in Bihar. All the leaders said Warangal  people would get enthused by the Bihar result and would teach a lesson to TRS as well. V Hanumantha Rao said TRS was also facing an opposition from the people  similar to the one the BJP faced in Bihar. ” In every TRS meetings, people , especially farmers, are questioning the TRS minister for their failure to deliver in the 17 months. This was exactly what Modi and the BJP experienced in Bihar. People were so fed up by Modi’s rule in past 17months that they did not even take cognizance of the huge financial package of Rs 1.25 lakh crore announced by Prime Minister Modi on eve of elections.” He said Congress would carry the Bihar message across the constituency. Uttam says Warangal people are  waiting to give their judgement on the 17 months of  government for his Modi -like governance, tall talk and empty hands.

“Let’s give Warangal to Sonia as T-gift”

Former union minister Sarve Satyanarayana assured the  party leadership that he would give the  Warangal Lok Sabha seat to party president as gift from Telangana if  he was given the ticket for the byelection.

He gave this assurance in  a meeting party  state in-charge general secretary Digvijay Singh held with Congress  leaders on the  poll-strategy for the Warangal Lok Sabha byelection on Thursday.

The industrialist -leader and  son of G Venkataswamy turned down the offer of party ticket for Warantal. Now the two leaders, Sarve Satyanarayan and from local MP Sircilla Rajaiah, are lobbying for the party nomination. Many  senior leaders went to Vivek’s house and tried to convince him to contest the election as the Congress candidate. Vivek, who is maintaining cordial relations with chief minister KCR, is not prepared to take on the ruling party. Party sources said he had shown disinterest in the election.

In the meeting, talking about his winning chances, Sarve said, ” I am ready  for the contest. If party feels  there is somebody who is better than me, I am ready to accept. But, don’t experiment with new ideas.”

He said the seat should be given to Madigas alone and fielding Mala candidate was a clear  loss of the seat.  ” Vivek left Congress to join TRS and he will not hesitate to go to TRS again. He is not the right candidate,” Sarve said. Both Sarve and Rajaiah are Madigas. As the seat was held by  a Madiga (Sircilla Rajaiah), Sarve and Rajaiah want the practice go on.

The AICC is expected to announce the name of the candidate in a day or two after Digvijay Singh submitted his report to party president on Friday.

Meanwhile, on the second day of nominations on Thursday, a nomination was filed by B Sammaiah , a Congress leader, even though the party is yet to announce the candidate. Sixty nine year-old Sammaiah, who is a madiga by community, filed three sets of papers. He was elected MLA from Parkal assembly constituency in 1978 and 1983 on Congress ticket and was a  minister for some time. Prof Gali Vinod Kumar is expected to file nomination on November 2 on as the candidate of all Left parties. The last day for filing nominations is November 4. The scrutiny will be done on November 5, and the last day of withdrawal of nominations is November 7. The elections will be held on November 21 and the counting will take place on November 24.

Warangal (SC) byelection is the prime topic of debate everywhere in Telangana state.  Because, as it is going to  be held at a time chief minister KCR regime finds itself in a politically not so conducive atmosphere in the state following many flip-flops in the administrative front. He took many decision and rolled back following an uproar from the civil society and opposition parties.  Chief minister earned  the moniker of roll-back CM. Riding on the wave of TRS government’s unpopularity, the opposition parties strongly believe that Warangal bypoll will be a referendum of sorts on the TRS. There is a feeling among all that  certainly it is going to have a bearing the politics in the run up to the 2019 elections.

BJP

BJP floor leader Dr Lakshman announced that Warangal election is referendum on TRS government and hoped that NDA candidate would win the election. BJP is to finalize its candidate in a day or two. Three candidates are vying for the BJP ticket namely,  Dr Devaiah, an NRI, former minister A Chandrasekhar,  and a local doctor A Chandramouli. TDP as per the understanding with BJP, left the seat to the saffron party. The party’s handicap is that the it is in short supply of heavy weights and PM Modi is not so attractive a personality in Telangana.

Congress:

Of all the political parties Congress is more confident of a win. The party has successfully recovered from the 2014 electoral shock, thanks to  unpopular decisions of TRS government, and the dynamic young leadership. Congress and TRS think the contest will be between them only and presence of TDP and other parties are  nominal.  KCR himself acknowledged some time back that  Congress is the rival party in Telangana. Brimming with enthusiasm of running an uninterrupted campaign against TRS government for over a year, the Congress is mobilizing all forces at its command   to wrest the seat from TRS. Winning the Warangal bypoll will greatly improve the chances of coming to power in 2019- is the belief among the party leaders. Even AICC also thinks on the same lines. It’s also keeping tabs on the developments in the state. Competition for the  ticket is intense that half a dozen senior leader are lobbying for the ticket. Main candidates in the fray are Sarve Satyanarayana(former union minister), Damodara Rajanarasimha( former deputy chief minister),  S Rajaiah (former local MP), G Vivek(former Peddapalli MP ) Rajarapu Pratap, Dr Vijayaramarao. According to party sources, Congress conducted surveys in constituency and the results are in favor of Congress. Today or tomorrow TPCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy and working president Bhatti are expected to leave for New Delhi to finalize the name of the candidate.

The Left:

All the Left parties have already announced their common candidate. After unsuccessful attempt to rope in balladeer Gaddar, nine left parties, which include the CPI and  CPM,  zeroed in on Osmania  Law College principal Gali Vinod Kumar.

Telangana Rashtra Samiti:

Despite many hiccups in the past 15 months ruling TRS is confident retaining the seat because people are still with the party that fought and succeeded in getting statehood to the region.  The party believes people confidence is unshaken in KCR leadership.   TRS is planning to develop Warangal as next important city in Telangana after Hyderabad. Party leaders also believe that one campaign meeting by the chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is enough to turn the wind in its favor. Ex MP Kadiam Srihari, whose resignation necessitated this election is trying hard to get his daughter nominated from the party. Earlier deputy chief minister, T Rajaiah is opposed to it and is said to have conveyed to the CM that his groups won’t be campaigning if Kadiam’s daughter is fielded. Interestingly, G Vivek,  Congress leader and son of G Vivek, is the topic intensely talked about as the possible candidate of TRS. ” If Congress denies him ticket he would come back and file nomination on behalf TRS,” said  TRS sources. Pulla Padmavati,  Congress MLC till recently, is also trying to switch over if ticked is offered by the TRS. Prof. P. Sambaiah,  Errolla Srinivas are the other others name in the circulation among the party circles. KCR as usual takes his own time keeping the aspirants guessing.The election to the Warangal (SC) constituency scheduled on November 21.
