Strategies and counter strategies are not abnormal during elections as rival parties leaders try to outsmart others in a bid to ensure their victory. The ruling TRS leaders in Telangana are very good at this psychological warfare at the time of any election as they take advantage of every small opportunity to embarrass opposition.

Now, TRS is bent up giving trouble to Congress Telangana Working President Revanth Reddy at every stage of electioneering and campaigning. Because of this, a controversy was triggered surrounding the filing of nomination papers of Revanth Reddy in Kodangal assembly segment. Just as Revanth’s brother filed nomination on his behalf and left the premises there, a DSP level officer came there to submit documents to election officials there that there were two more police cases against Revanth Reddy.

Explaining about such incidents, Revanth Reddy alleged that CM K. Chandrasekhara Rao has been trying to make his nomination invalid somehow and for this purpose the TRS cadres are acting day and night taking support from the officials. He accused Chief Electoral Officer Rajat Kumar and DGP Mahender Reddy of not taking immediate action when TRS goons had beaten up Congress activists to disrupt Congress election meeting at Renubatla village in Kodangal limits. Revanth even threatened to approach the court complaining against the collusion of the top officials.

Revanth also issued an ultimatum to all those officials and employees who would dare to extent indirect support to TRS for making KCR CM again. Once Congress comes into power in next month election, the party would pay back in same coin to such officers.
