"I will call Rahul Gandhi 'Election Gandhi'...," BRS MLC K Kavitha takes swipe at Congress MP

Nizamabad (Telangana) [India], October 18 (ANI): Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC K Kavitha on Wednesday took a swipe at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi calling him 'Election Gandhi' as he "visits the state only during elections," she said.
Kavitha also accused the Congress of making false election promises to the people of Telangana in the upcoming Assembly polls in the state which are scheduled for November 30 and the counting of which will take place on December 3.
"There is an atmosphere of elections in Telangana...Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi are coming here today. They are giving guarantees and making false promises." Kavitha told ANI.
"I will call Rahul Gandhi 'Election Gandhi' because he visits the state only during elections. When it comes to the rights of Telangana, he never stands with the state. This has been noticed seriously by the people of Telangana so poeple do not believe what he says during the election times," Kavitha added.
She said that the BRS will win the upcoming Assembly election and the Congress will be marginalised in Telangana.
Telangana will go to polls on November 30 and the votes, along with those of four other poll-bound states, will be counted on December 3.
In the previous Assembly polls in 2018, the BRS finished far ahead of its rivals, winning 88 of 119 seats and bagging 47.4 per cent of the total votes polled.
Congress came in a distant second with just 19 seats.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi are scheduled to visit Telangana as part of their Vijayabheri yatra on Wednesday.
The leaders will commence their bus yatra, which will start from the historic Ramappa temple in Mulugu and conclude in Ramanujapuram between 5 pm and 6 pm.
Both leaders will respectfully present the Congress's six guarantees before Lord Shiva as part of their visit, followed by the launch of the Vijayabheri bus yatra.
Subsequently, both leaders will engage with women from the Mulugu and Bhupalpally areas to gain insights into their concerns.
During his three-day visit, Rahul Gandhi is set to conduct a series of public meetings and connect with labourers, farmers, and party members.
This visit by both leaders is expected to provide a significant boost to the Telangana Congress. (ANI)
