Before challenging KCR, opposition should name their CM candidates: KTR

Stating that able governance and stable leadership was the hallmark of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government, Minister for IT K.T. Rama Rao asked the opposition parties to name their Chief Ministerial candidate before challenging the supremacy of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

In an informal chat with reporters here, he asserted that KCR was bound to come back the third time with a huge majority in the ensuing Assembly elections. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would not even secure the present three seats in the next elections while the Congress was in no position to challenge KCR. He asked the Congress not to get excited by the party’s win in Karnataka and realise that BRS was not a weak government like the BJP government in Karnataka.

Asserting that KCR, who is already the longest-serving Chief Minister compared to any CM in the combined Andhra Pradesh was the most popular face, Mr. Rama Rao predicted a hattrick for the BRS government with over 80 seats. The achievements of KCR government were enough to travel a few more years, he said, adding that the progress card itself would take it forward.
