Uttam ridicules KCR’s poll surveys

Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President N Uttam Kumar Reddy has alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao has been trying to cover up erosion of public support to his government through fake surveys and bogus awards.

Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan on Monday, Uttam Kumar Reddy ridiculed the "surveys" being conducted by the Chief Minister on the possible outcome of next elections. "Why KCR is worried about the results of next elections which are due to be held in 2019? If he is still popular among masses, then why is he conducting surveys almost on monthly basis? The surveys and their reported outcome are nothing but a farce and an attempt to mislead the people and his own party cadre," he said.

He dubbed KCR's said that the TRS would win 100 seats in next Assembly elections not true. He said no section of the society was happy with the performance of the TRS government and all of them are desperately waiting for next elections to teach the ruling party a fitting lesson. "KCR has already sensed his defeat in next elections.

For the same reason, he is trying to divert people's attention from his failures by flaunting the findings of one or the other surveys. In almost all the meetings of TRS Legislature Party held in the recent past, KCR talked only about surveys and never discussed issues concerning common people," he said. Earlier in the day, Uttam Kumar Reddy paid rich tributes to the martyrs of Basheerbagh police firing incident on the occasion of 17th anniversary.
