Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao is planning to go for an early election to the state assembly, if one were go by the suspicion of the Bharatiya Janata Party leadership in Telangana.
According BJP sources, KCR might call for early polls in the second-half of 2018. This is basically because, he does not want the growing dissatisfaction among the people to transform into an anti-establishment wave.
It is pretty evident that KCR government couldn’t fulfil majority of his pre-poll promises till now and the situation is going to be no better in the coming years as well.
Steadily growing popular unrest and dissatisfaction is a major concern, as it will only compound as time passes for the TRS government.
KCR’s recent attempts at caste and sub-caste politics, sudden awakening to fulfil his personal vows to gods with public money after almost three years of Telangana statehood formation, 12 per cent Muslim reservation rhetoric, shows KCR has a secret plan.
KCR seems to strongly believe that opposition parties in the state are very weak and subdued, and his popular image amongst the masses has still not fully eroded.
His plot seems to be to catch the opposition unprepared and draw them into an all-out attack.
A possible win as he seems to forecast can consolidate his power in the state for a long time.
Unleashing his plan, he possibly will go on a political appointment spree and fill hundreds of nominated positions for keeping his flock together.
An imminent cabinet reshuffle, aggressive budget session, more popular dole outs, massive caste and religion appeasement politics, and publicity blitz will be at display in the weeks to come, the BJP leaders feel.
