TRS chief and CM Chandrasekhara Rao unleashed his anger in his usual inimitable style at former MP and former Congress leader Lagadapati Rajagopal for leaking part of his survey details. KCR dismissed Lagadapati survey as a mere trash one and called it the act of those ‘sannasulu’ (sanyasis) who tried hard to oppose the Telangana agitation but eventually failed to prevent separate statehood.

KCR used his Telangana style language calling the acts of Lagadapati and others as ‘vekili makili surveys’ (rubbish, baseless surveys). TRS chief is clearly disturbed by the survey leaks in which Lagadapati told media that a lot of independents would win in the present Telangana elections. The former MP indicated that some 8 to 10 independents would have a chance to emerge winners all over the state.

Lagadapati’s predictions became a hot topic in political circles. A former Congress leader, his remarks were also seen with suspicion among Prajakutami leaders as well. Lagadapati is not with any political party right now. His open opposition to Telangana formation at the height of agitation was well known. Lagadapati had gone out of active politics after taking a vow over political twist in the state.

Lagadapati also said Bahujan Left Front nominee K. Shiva Kumar Reddy would win in Narayanapet segment in Mahbubnagar district. Reddy cannot be seen as an independent as he is part of a smaller alliance and also a rebel candidate who quit the Congress party after denial ticket. Lagadapati also predicted win of Anil Jadhav in Bodh ST segment in Adilabad district.
