Musheerabad is an important segment in Hyderabad city limits. The TRS has fielded Mutha Gopal who has suddenly stopped campaigning for the past four days. His followers say Gopal is ill and he is taking treatment in a city hospital. But the Congress leaders say there is something foul about this and Gopal’s withdrawal from electioneering is a carefully calculated move approved by the TRS leadership.
Under the Prajakutami alliance, Musheerabad ticket is allotted to the Congress which has fielded Dr. Anil Kumar Yadav. As the Congress is getting support from the TDP, TJS and CPI, the TRS is preparing to take on the allies by having an alleged secret understanding with the BJP. Musheerabad is stated to be the clear example. Here, sitting MLA Dr. K Laxman is once again contesting on the BJP ticket. He is also the BJP state president.
In 2014 election, Mutha Gopal contested on TRS ticket and secured 37,823 votes while Dr. Laxman polled 65,209 votes winning the seat on BJP ticket. TRS allotted the ticket once again to Gopal but this time the candidate faced allegations of not electioneering properly from the beginning. Following this, the Congress sees a strong challenge from the BJP because of its alleged deal with the TRS.
As a step to fight back, the Congress leaders are campaigning hard explaining the unholy secret deals that KCR is having with the communal parties like the BJP and the MIM. They are trying to mobilise greater support from the anti-BJP and anti-TRS parties and groups in the segment.
