TRS chief and Telangana CM KCR faced the biggest insult of his political career on Friday, when he was forced to cancel the TRS election meeting at LB Stadium in Hyderabad due to poor turnout of crowd.
This incident turned out to be a huge embarrassment for KCR and TRS.
Despite being a ruling party and majority of the MLAs and corporators in GHMC limits belonging to TRS, they failed to mobilise sufficient crowds to make CM’s programme a success.
KCR was supposed to address the meeting after his Miryalaguda meeting on Friday. KCR proceeded from Miryalaguda to Hyderabad to reach LB stadium.
He came to know that there was no big crowd in the stadium and the stadium was not even half-filled by then.
This angered KCR, who refused to address the meeting and headed straight to Pragathi Bhavan. Shocked TRS leaders later announced cancellation of the meeting citing ‘unavoidable circumstances’.
The meeting was organised for Secunderabad, Malkajgiri and Chevella Lok Sabha constituencies.
Of this, Secunderabad and Malkajgiri are represented by ministers Talasani Srinivas Yadav and C Malla Reddy.
Though ministers, TRS MLAs and corporators arranged many buses and other vehicles to transport people, there was not much response.
This is for the first time that KCR was forced to cancel his public meeting due to lack of crowd at the venue.
CM reportedly took ministers, TRS MLAs and corporators to task for their failure in mobilising people even after his schedule was announced a week ago.
This incident naturally came as a good opportunity for Opposition parties to mock at TRS.
Opposition leaders said LB stadium incident clearly confirmed that the ‘downfall of KCR and TRS has begun’, which started with TRS supported candidates losing all the three seats in recent MLC polls.
