“If Jagan Mohan Reddy is involved in corruption, why is he not behind bars? Why have you not exposed his corruption? Why haven’t you used the weapons you have?” he added.

The Congress leader said that despite all the efforts by “BJP’s shop” won’t be opened in Khammam while that of BRS will get closed.

“Amit Shah will come to Khammam and throw similar corruption allegations. Whatever happens, the seat of Khammam belongs to Congress. The shop of BJP will not open in Khammam and the shop of BRS is about to be closed. In coming days, Congress will get a majority in Khammam, we will form a government in Telangana and also in the country,” he said.

Rao added, “When Congress comes into power, we will conduct a caste-wise census and also increase the OBC reservation. We are celebrating the birthday of Rahul Gandhi on June 19. All people in all villages should perform palabhishekam for Rahul Gandhi on that day.”

He further said that Congress will win both assemblies as well as the parliamentary elections.

“The farmers had staged a protest for 1 year, have they given minimum support price? What about the 2 crore job and Rs 15 lakhs to each account? They are just playing with the lives of people by privatising everything. Both BRS and BJP will be defeated and Congress will win in Telangana and also in the parliamentary elections,” he said.

Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah are looking united and focused post the formation of the cabinet. The Congress has allotted plum cabinet posts to Dalits, OBCs and minorities and also ensured the proper representation to dominant castes. By electing a Muslim speaker for the first time in the history of the state and alotting two cabinet portfolios, the party had ensured that Muslim vote bank remained intact.

By announcing the dates of implementation of guarantee schemes, the masses irrespective of party and affiliations have appreciated the move of Congress party. Dy CM D.K. Shivakumar has described the development as historic, and the first time in the country, five guarantees of the scale were implemented in the country in a day.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday declared that all five guarantees would be implemented by this financial year. The scheme of free bus travel will come into effect by June 11. Free power up to 200 units will be given from July. Women heads will get Rs 2,000 from August and Free 10 kilograms of rice for all members of BPL card will be given from July 1.

Following the announcement of the date of implementation of five guarantees by the Karnataka Congress government, Shivakumar challenged that now it is the turn of the Union government to keep their promises. Soon, the Central government will face a litmus test in the form of Lok Sabha elections. “To pass the test, they need to keep their promises,” he added.

Commenting on the criticism by the opposition parties especially BJP on guarantee schemes, Shivakumar urged that instead of criticism, let the Prime Minister bring black money from abroad and deposit Rs 15 lakh to individual bank accounts as promised. Let them (BJP) create 2 crore jobs promised to be created and double the income of farmers, Shivakumar stated.

In turn, BJP is yet to elect the leader of the opposition and the state unit is found lacking towards rejuvenating spirits of the party workers. Former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is finding it difficult to answer repeated questions regarding the selection of opposition leader.

Former CM Bommai`s attack on Congress party after announcement of guarantee schemes by dubbing the development as a farce had few takers. BJP had swept 25 seats out of 28 in the last parliamentary elections when former CM B.S. Yediyurappa was at the helm and leading the party.

Congress won only one seat against the Modi wave following the Balakot incident and retaliatory action by the Central government against Pakistan in 2019. AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge too lost elections against BJP candidate Umesh Jadhav on his home turf.

Now, since PM Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah`s combined efforts are falling flat in Karnataka assembly elections, the Congress is clearly aiming at winning more than 20 seats. Mallikarjun Kharge has taken the revenge as his appeal of claiming himself as Bhoomi Putra of Karnataka struck a chord with the people and sunk campaigning blitzkrieg by PM Modi and Amit Shah.

Sources in the Congress party confirmed that the process of selection of candidates has already started. With Dalit and Muslim vote banks intact, the Congress is confident that it will also give no option for the BJP to get back the Lingayat vote bank. Vokkaliga community is now rallying behind Dy CM Shivakumar.

The party is also strategising to hold elections for the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to wrestle civic agency of IT city Bengaluru. While Congress is treading cautiously and aggressively against Hindutva, BJP camp is looking dull and wanting, torn with internal strife.
