"Hyderabad Has Shown How To Stop BJP": KCR's Daughter On Local Polls

Saturday, 5 December 2020Newsdesk

Telangana's ruling party - the Telangana Rashtra Samiti - may have emerged as the largest party in the Hyderabad municipal election, but the BJP's gains mean it will likely need support from Asaduddin Owaisi's AIMIM when the time comes to elect a new mayor. However, senior TRS leader K Kavitha told NDTV in an exclusive interview: "There is still some time for that. We will discuss and then come to a decision."

Ms Kavitha, who is also Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's daughter, said that while the result of Tuesday's election called for "some introspection" and was lower than the party's expectation, she pointed out the TRS had lost at least a dozen wards by very low margins. "The BJP paraded leaders and confused voters. it is the BJP tactic to go aggressive everywhere. We now understand BJP tactics. We will make sure we are one step ahead in 2023," she said, adding, "We are not a weak party. We are a well-organised party with 60 lakh members and will fight back to make sure we are one step ahead in 2023 (assembly elections)".
