Congress will win 10 seats in Telangana: RC Khuntia

Even while expressing disappointment over low voter turnout in the Lok Sabha elections in the State, AICC in-charge RC Khuntia sounded optimistic of Congress candidates emerging winners in ten out of 17 constituencies. Speaking to reporters after the completion of polling at Gandhi Bhavan on Thursday, Khuntia also predicted that AICC president Rahul Gandhi will become the next prime minister. 

As if to justify his comment, Khuntia claimed that Rahul Gandhi’s NYAY scheme, which was included in the Congress manifesto, has struck a chord with the electorate. The voters also welcomed the farm loan waiver assurance given by the Congress party, he said.  Meanwhile, blaming the Election Commission for low voter turnout, Khuntia said: “The low turnout is mainly because of the failure of the Election Commission officials.” He also blamed the the Election Commission for giving permission for a biopic on Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to be released before the polls.
