The YSR Congress Party is almost insignificant in the Telangana region but still it wants to contest the upcoming Warangal Lok Sabha bypoll.
The Telangana unit of the YSRC which met at Lotus Pond on Tuesday decided to contest the byelections.
Telangana YSRCP president P Srinivas Reddy told media persons that the party got tremendous response from the people to Jagan’s sister Sharmila during the recent 'Paramarsa Yatra' and it proved beyond doubt that the people still honour the ideals of the late YSR and the welfare schemes launched by him.
Also, the people of Warangal district are the maximum beneficiaries of these schemes launched during the YSR regime.
He said the ruling TRS had totally failed to fulfill its election promises resulting in a large number of suicides by farmers.
The people would outright reject the TRS in the byelections, he said, adding that they knew that it was YSR who had built houses for the poor due to which he is remembered even for today.
The Congress, he felt will be rejected totally by the voters for its narrow-minded politics, particularly for foisting false cases against their party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. The TDP-BJP combine, he said will be nowhere in the reckoning.
However, it is learnt the YSRC is contesting elections only to split anti-establishment votes, so that it would ultimately benefit the TRS.
