Fresh from assembly election late last year, which saw Telangana's founding party, Bharat Rashtra Samiti dethroned, the state is now geared up to vote for 17 Lok Sabha seats on May 13.
With Congress hoping to replicate its assembly election performance and BJP aiming to increase its tally of 4 seats from 2019, BRS is leaving no stone unturned to stop both national parties from expanding their base in the state.
On the campaign trail this week, editorji's Vikram Chandra caught up with BRS leader and former minister, KT Rama Rao on where does his party stand in the electoral fight where two national parties are challenging each other.
In a scathing attack on Congress and BJP, KTR said both parties have failed to represent aspirations of the people of Telangana at the Centre. Targetting the PM over his sister K Kavitha's arrest in the alleged liquor policy scam, KTR said, 'leaders who oppose the Prime Minister face jail term'.
