KCR’s inauguration spree hints at early polls in Telangana

Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is likely to go for early elections, if a series of inaugurations, laying of foundation stones for new projects and filling up of vacancies in government departments are any indications.

Though the Assembly elections in the state are scheduled towards the end of 2023, indications are that Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the new name adopted by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), will advance the polls by six months.

Though KCR has been saying publicly that the polls will be held as scheduled, the buzz in the political circles is that he may go for early elections to avoid any risk of Assembly elections being clubbed with 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
