Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) supremo and state chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has reiterated to party leaders that elections to the State Assembly will take place as scheduled in November-December in 2023, with no chance or necessity for early polls.
At a meeting of the TRS at the party headquarters, Telangana Bhavan, on Tuesday the Chief Minister asked the party leaders to start preparations for the elections. TRS MPs, MLAs, MLCs MPs, Zilla Parishad and party executive members attended the meeting.
CM KCR also asked the party leaders to take to the people a plethora of welfare and development schemes being undertaken by the state government.
Following TRS' victory in the recent Munugode Assembly by-election, the Chief Minister urged party leaders to continue working in the same spirit. The CM also congratulated Kusukuntla Prabhakar Reddy, the newly-elected MLA from Munugode, and thanked all the party leaders and ranks who fought tirelessly to ensure the party's win in the by-election.

KCR asked MLAs to be among the people, communicate with them, and bring any problems to the attention of the government. The TRS chief expressed confidence that the TRS will achieve a hat-trick by retaining power in the upcoming election.
KCR also urged the party's cadres to effectively confront the BJP. Referring to the recent arrest of three alleged BJP agents for attempting to lure four TRS MLAs with large sums of money, he stated that efforts are being made to topple the state government.
The TRS president claimed that while the BJP was successful in destabilising governments in other states, it was caught red-handed in Telangana.
He also requested that ministers and MLAs need not worry about CBI and ED operations.
