KCR to adopt new strategy to pick party candidates for 2023 elections
By: Tupaki Desk | 31 May 2022 6:25 AM GMT
The ruling TRS is all set to adopt a new strategy while finalising the names of the candidates for the upcoming elections. Unlike the last elections, where all the sitting MLAs, barring five, were given tickets, things are going to be different this time. The party is all set to give tickets on the basis of the third-party surveys and also on the basis of feedback from the cadres.
CM KCR, who is strategizing to score an electoral hattrick in Telangana, is adopting a different strategy this time. Earlier, he used to make his own assessments and take decisions. The tickets were given to those who KCR perceived as winning horses. But, this time around, KCR wants to see that nothing goes wrong.
He has entrusted the task of conducting surveys to Prashant Kishore, who is already on the job. He has already completed a survey of 30 constituencies and is on course to survey 40 more constituencies. In the third phase, the remaining seats too would be surveyed. In addition to the surveys, KCR is said to be getting reports from the party organisational network about the accessibility of the MLA to the people and the party cadre, his responsiveness and commitment to the party and the people. Thus, for the first time ever, KCR is eliciting the opinions of the party functionaries about the sitting MLA.
Last March 21, KCR told a meeting of the party MLAs that their performance was being assessed. He told them not to take things easily. He said that the MLAs were not the sole leaders of the constituency and added that the opinions of the party functionaries too would be taken before finalising the tickets. The MLAs are now said to be working overtime to please and placate the party functionaries.
