Hyderabad, October 5: With the election date expected soon for the Legislative Assembly, the ruling BRS in Telangana has started to reach out to the people in a big way, with party working president and minister K T Rama Rao attending development programmes and addressing rallies across the state on Thursday. Rama Rao, who has been touring the state for the last several days, addressed public meetings at Kukatpally in Hyderabad and others in the city.

Calling state BJP president G Kishan Reddy and TPCC president A Revanth Reddy as "political pygmies", he said these leaders do not match in stature to fight with Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who risked his life, fighting for Telangana statehood. He alleged that Congress in Telangana was functioning under Revanth Reddy who had an RSS background. A former chief minister of Punjab had written a letter to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi questioning as to why a leader from the RSS was made the chief of the Congress in Telangana, he claimed.
