If inside buzz in TRS circuits is to be believed, KCR’s son KTR would be elevated as the Chief Minister. However, it would not be done in a haste and it would happen in a step-by-step manner. As part of the strategy, KTR has been made the TRS working president.
Although the chorus of KTR as the next CM had been there even in the previous term, KTR wasn’t proved then. He has been perceived as well articulative and good administrator, but politically he was yet to be proven then.
But 2018 general elections have smashed all those apprehensions on KTR. KTR won with a huge majority of nearly 90,000 votes. This is a proof of his mass hysteria. Unlike Harish Rao (who won with 1,20,650 votes majority), KTR had a strong opponent candidate. Yet, KTR managed to get nearly 90,000-vote majority.
This is not all. He is also the in-charge of Rangareddy district and Greater Hyderabad region where many of TRS candidates won with a thumping majority against rivals. Even tough seats like Kukatpally, Serlingampally, Khairatabad, Uppal, Rajendra Nagar where TRS hadn’t made its foray before were bagged by the pink party this time around. This has increased the popularity of KTR within the party and outside the party. KTR’s popularity has doubled in TRS and respect for him has substantially increased among the party workers.
Now, KTR is slowly increasing his coterie within the party. Many of the party MLAs are also showing a lot of interest to increase their bonhomie with him who is seen as the future CM of the Telangana and successor to KCR. Talk is also has it that KTR would play his role well in deciding the cabinet positions soon.
All these indicate are adding to the ongoing rumours in TRS that KTR would be made as the CM of Telangana in six months and KCR would leave to Delhi to play significant role in national politics along with Asaduddin Owaisi.
