K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) managed to create a sensation on Monday by announcing the list of BRS candidates much prior to the election commission announcing upcoming assembly polls dates. Taking it to their official social media handle, KCR’s party declared names of 115 candidates out of 119 seats in the state.

The tweet reads:

“People are the strength.. this is the strength. Great success in Telangana State Sadhana. Absolute lead in both elections.. One is better than the other. Ten years have passed. At a time when the third election was on the horizon, Chief Minister KCR created a sensation. KCR has created a sensation by announcing the BRS candidates for 115 seats out of total 119 seats.”

It further reads, “Moreover, out of total 105 people sitting, 98 people were given tickets again and challenged saying this is my ability.. Kaskondi. Mallannasagar poured water on the hopes of the opposition, who were waiting to include them, if tickets for the BRS sittings were denied, like a fox on Lottipitta’s lips. Would it be better if the admissions committees were abolished?”

“The theory of ‘aversion to sittings’ is bogus. Validation of the ‘Anti-Government’ Prophecy. ‘Third time…?’ Full stop for Muchachata. A one-shot answer to Padikattu word theories. No fear of dissension.. no suspicion of revolts… no excuse to declare against the opponent. He believed in the people who believed in him. Strong confidence in the results of his administration. Intact assurance on the development of Telangana that he has done. Kattappani bet with his team. Unchanged team… hit a hat trick! Aur Ek Dhaka.. KCR Pakka! #KCROnceAgain, “ added further.
