: Observing there would be huge difference in the issues that dominated the recent Assembly elections in the state and the coming Lok Sabha polls,Congress president in Telangana N Uttam Kumar Reddy Saturday asked the party cadre to convey to the people that the parliamentary elections are between the Congress and BJP.
Reddy, who was addressing party leaders from Nagarkurnool, Mahabubnagar, Khammam, Mahabubabad, Nalgonda and Bhongir Lok Sabha constituencies in separate meetings on the second day of brainstorming sessions being held by the party, claimed the Congress would have an edge in the Lok Sabha elections, according to party sources.
Alleging the TRS government has "contaminated the entire election process in Telangana" by distributing money and liquor, he said Congress and its cadre have a responsibility to stop the trend.
Claiming that electoral rolls used in last Assembly elections were "defective and incomplete," Reddy said "all Congress leaders and workers must ensure that electoral rolls at their polling booth levels are updated through effective coordination with election authorities."
Saying that the ruling TRS in Telangana would have no relevance in the Lok Sabha polls, he claimed, "even if KCR wins all 16 Lok Sabha seats as he is claiming now, he will not be able to form the government at the Centre."
