The Congress party showed dismal performance in general elections. Everybody knows state's bifurcation is the prime reason for the party's disastrous performance in the election battle. Many observers have predicted that Congress would not get its form back at least for ten years. In this scenario, the Congress party has decided to contest for the bypolls of Triupathi and roped in a DWACRA member named Sridevi. TDP has roped in late MLA Venkataramana's wife as an MLA contestant in Tirupathi bypolls.
Although the Congress party has bleak chances of winning the election battle, TDP's administrative blunders might offer them a ray of hope to give some fight with the TDP if not the victory. As we know, many farmers are yet to be benefited with loan waiver. Employees have been frustrated with delayed PRC and teachers were angered with change of school timings. On one hand, CBN plans to pour in hundreds of crores for new capital while on the other, he cries on lack of funds to pay salaries to the employed, in Delhi. It remains to be seen whether these setbacks affect the winning prospects of TDP in Tirupathi or not.
