VOTERS ARE CLEARER IN THEIR MINDS THAN POLITICIANS AND POLITICAL PARTIES

AT FIRST SIGHT, Pragathi Bhavan, the official address of the Telangana chief minister in Hyderabad, radiates allure and authority in equal parts. One has to drive up a slope and pass a security barrier to reach the place. All the action, however, is in the building to the left. This is the office of K.T. Rama Rao, the state information technology minister and K. Chandrashekar Rao’s son, and is the gathering place of media and party workers as the state inches closer to elections.

This is why multi-asset investing as a single-window and all-weather solution has gained prominence.
