Ramulamma kosam KCR seat sacrifice


Looks like Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao has fallen flat for film actress-turned-Telangana protagonist Vijayshanti a ka Ramulamma.

So much so that KCR is now ready to sacrifice his favourite Karimnagar Lok Sabha seat to Vijayashanti, if the party sources are to be believed. Though Vijayashanti is interested in contesting from Warangal, her so-called native district, KCR is learnt to have asked her to shift to Karimnagar, which is a safe seat.

There are different reasons, apart from his new-found affinity towards Vijayshanti, for KCR sacrificing Karimnagar seat. First of all, KCR is unhappy with the voters of Karimnagar for humiliating him by giving a meagre majority of 15,000 votes in the last year's by-election.

Secondly, he has received information that Praja Rajyam Party has made a lot of inroads into the TRS vote bank in Karimangar district and Chiranjeevi and Pavan Kalyan are particularly targeting this constituency. So, it is better to make Vijayshanti a scapegoat!
