TRS president and Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao has once again proved that no one can match him or beat him in devising 'election strategies' to sweep elections with absolute majority.
Be it bypolls, GHMC elections or Assembly polls, he pushed all Opposition parties into a corner with his swift planning and strategic moves.
While KCR could win recent Assembly polls with a thumping majority with 'direct cash transfers' through Rythu Bandhu and slew of populist schemes in the election year by spending thousands of crores of rupees, he has now set his eyes on winning gram panchayat elections to be held this month in three phases.
For this, KCR has decided to use "MLA funds" to make TRS candidates elected as sarpanches 'unanimously'.
Normally, state government gives Rs 10 lakh incentive to each gram panchayat where 'unanimous election' is held.
But KCR has devised a new strategy where MLAs are offering incentive of Rs 10 lakh to Rs 50 lakh to make election unanimous from their MLA grants in addition to state government's Rs 10 lakh incentive. In Telangana, each MLA will get Rs 3 crore grants per year to develop their constituencies.
KTR offered Rs 15 lakh incentive to panchayats in his home constituency Siricilla, while MLA Balka Suman offered Rs 50 lakh incentive from their MLA grants.
TRS won 88 MLA seats recently. Two independents joined later taking total strength to 90.
With 90 MLAs out of 119 seats in TS Assembly, TRS has more chances to win gram panchayat polls , while Opposition Congress and TDP has just 21 MLAs.
