Telangana Statehood Sentiment May Not Be Enough To Balance Discontent Against KCR: Poll Analysis

For the past two Telangana assembly elections, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has been leveraging the sentiment of Telangana statehood and the years’ long fight for it. While it has proven to be successful for him until now, many in the state believe that this time, people’s local issues might overpower the regional sentiments, Outlook’s Anisha Reddy explains.

Issues such as unemployment and concerns linked to existing schemes such as Rythu Bandhu and Dalit Bandhu, might overpower KCR’s hold in the state. The three main promises and issues on which Telangana state was born were – water, jobs and financial stability. Now, almost a decade later, these issues still remain key for voters to decide who will form the next government.
