PARTIES PRAY FOR A SUPER LEADER IN TS

-

Opposition parties in Telangana state are looking for “super leaders” to lead them to victory in 2019. The rush started with CLP leader K. Jana Reddy stating that a “Bahubali” would emerge to defeat the TRS and bring the Congress to power. Even as politician­s started guessing who that “Bahubali” would be, other parties jumped in. TD leader A. Revanth Reddy said his party did not believe in fantasy characters but a “real leader” would emerge from within the party to dethrone the TRS. The BJP said a Yogi Adityanath would bring it to power in the state. And the CPM hoped for a leader like Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan rising from the ranks. The ruling party had the last word. A TRS leader said, “Hamare paas KCR hai,” taking off from the famous Shashi Kapoor line in the Amitabh Bachchan hit Deewar.
