KCR begins T Jaitrayatra

A day after assault on non-T teachers on OU campus,TRS president KChandrasekhar Rao on Sunday began his Telangana Jaitrayatra with a call for a renewed round of agitation and to strengthen the party. In the first-leg of yatra,KCR attended a meeting in his Mahbubnagar Parliamentary constituency and admitted some party activists from Congress and TDP. This tour of KCR,party leaders say is to know the pulse of people after the byelection since there was a criticism that TRS was not strong enough in majority of districts in Telangana.KCR will tour Mahbubnagar,Khammam,Nalgonda,Ranga Reddy and parts of Medak,Nizamabad and Adilabad where party does not have a strong cadre.

As per the TRS study,the Telangana party was weak in the districts where the Reddy community was dominating district politics.In Nalgonda,Mahbubnagar and Ranga Reddy districts and part of Medak district Reddy community plays a dominant role in politics.While in Khammam and parts of Nizamabad, Kamma community plays an important role.Another TRS leader said that the yatra will also help the party in gearing up for launching second phase of T movement after Dec 31 if the Centre did not respond positively to the formation of T state based on Srikrishna Committee report.
