Congress confidence on united leadership, in Telangana rests six 'guarantees'

Even as the Congress is holding back to back meetings to finalise its candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Telangana, the party is hopeful that it will cross the halfway mark in the 119member assembly and form the government in the state.

Congress leaders feel that the party’s guarantees in the poll bound southern state is playing a major role in bringing the people towards it for the first time, who had earlier in two assembly elections voted for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (now Bharat Rashtra Samithi) as they are fed up of the alleged corruption in the state.

A party leader, wishing not to be named, said that the Congress is gaining ground in the southern state very rapidly as its popularity has increased. This was the reason why an internal survey has pointed out that it can form the government easily if the party leaders and workers unite and push for victory together.
