All parties should join hands to defeat KCR: Congress

Describing the fight against TRS in the coming assembly polls in Telangana as a “war for righteousness,” state Congress state president N Uttam Kumar Reddy Friday said various opposition parties, including TDP, and civil society organisations should join forces with Congress. The state Assembly was dissolved Thursday as per the recommendation of the TRS government, paving way for early polls. The assembly elections were originally scheduled to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha polls next year.

“We call upon all political, non-political forces in Telangana, NGOs, civil society organisations, students bodies, employees organisations, all political parties, including Telugu Desam, to join forces to defeat this corrupt government by treating these elections as a Dharma Yuddham (war for righteousness),” Reddy told reporters here.  There has been speculation about an electoral alliance between the Congress and TDP in Telangana.
