Giving a hint that the Congress list will be delayed, the Telangana Congress president, A. Revanth Reddy said the party’s poll campaign will start from the Dasara festival, which falls on October 24.
He refused to give the exact date for the release of the candidates’ list and said the party has its own strategy in releasing the list. “The six guarantees announced by Sonia Gandhi for the people of Telangana are our candidates and we are going into the poll campaign with them. Candidates’ list will come at the right time as per our strategy,” he said.
Mr. Reddy was speaking to reporters in New Delhi on Monday after the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the poll dates for Telangana. Replying to a question, he said the BRS only has candidates and nothing to offer for people like our schemes. Even if they come out with new schemes people are not willing to believe them,” he said when reporters sought his response saying the BRS had already announced the candidates.
