Hyderabad The idea of ‘one nation, one election’ is a cheap tactic of the NDA Government at the Centre to divert people’s attention from pertinent issues, Telangana Minister and BRS Working President KT Rama Rao said on Tuesday.
In an informal chat with mediapersons here, he expressed confidence that the BRS would triumph in the upcoming assembly elections by winning over 90 seats, and said that the opposition parties in Telangana are in a confusion about what issue they should fight Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao with.
He alleged that both BJP and Congress do not have a “CM face” to present in the polls and have to depend on “sealed covers” from their respective party high commands to pick the chief minister nominee. “It (one nation, one election) is a cheap political gimmick. It is an attention diversion tactic of NDA, because we have seen such gimmicks earlier also. ‘One nation, one election’ is a part of attention diversion. Why have they not done so in the past nine years? Is there any guarantee that will be implemented now? If BJP wants to do so, who can stop them? They have a bulldozing majority in the Parliament,” Rama Rao said.
