There would be no KCR or TRS factor in the coming Lok Sabha elections as it was about electing the Prime Minister, Telangana Congress chief Uttam Kumar Reddy said Sunday asserting that the party would sweep almost all the 17 seats in the state.
Voting for Parliament is not about Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao or Telangana Rashtra Samiti.
It will be a vote to elect the next Prime Minister and people would certainly prefer Congress president Rahul Gandhi over BJP's (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi, Reddy said in a press release here.
"Brainstorming sessions held in the last three days have proved that all the Congress cadres were rejuvenated to win the Lok Sabha elections," the release quoted Reddy as saying while addressing party leaders from the constituencies of Chevella, Malkajgiri, Hyderabad, Secunderabad and Medak at separate meetings.
He further said the Congress would field a strong candidate in Hyderabad constituency currently held by AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi.
"...we've hadserious introspection into the factors that led to party's defeat in last (December 2018) Assembly elections," he said in the release.
