​Hyderabad: As the Opposition parties including the Mahakutami are yet to announce their candidates, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) candidates are going the extra mile to attract the voters. The TRS candidates are participating in various activities such as cooking, hair cutting, shaving and even helping voters while taking bath in the open.

Generally, the candidates indulge in arguments and counter arguments even at the ground level. However, the TRS candidates, most of them have been in the field for almost one and a half month. While the Mahakutami is yet to announce candidates, the BJP has announced 38 candidates in its first list. With this, the TRS candidates in the constituencies are doing their extra bit to attract voters.

Even TRS president K Chandrashekar Rao, in a press conference recently, said that the ground is open (‘maidan saaf’) for the TRS leaders and since there was nothing to talk, he was announcing partial manifesto of the party.

The TRS candidates are helping the voters in their businesses while campaigning. The TRS candidate from Bhoopalapally and former Speaker S Madhusudhana Chary was seen applying foam to a man in a barber shop. Other two candidates went ahead and gave a voter hair cut in a saloon. The candidates were Gadari Kishore and Kale Yadaiah. These are all sitting MLAs of the TRS.

As if it is not enough, some of the TRS candidates even helped a voter take bath. The TRS candidate from Yellendu Koram Kanakaiah, while campaigning in the constituency saw a man bathing and while the individual was soaked in soap, the candidate poured water on him. Another TRS candidate from city K P Vivekanand helped bathing a child in his Quthbullapur Assembly constituency.

Shankar Naik from Asifabad ironed the clothes in a laundry. Sangareddy candidate Chinta Prabhakar cooked boondhi in a house. The TRS candidate from Mahbubnagar V Srinivas Goud was seen helping in every activity the voter was involved. He helped women folks in carrying water pot, helped a construction labour placing bricks and giving concrete mix etc. The social media was abuzz with comments with some of them stating that the leaders would go to any extent for votes.

However, a senior TRS leader said that there was nothing wrong in what the candidates were doing. He said that these acts of the candidates were taken note by the citizens and voters would also be reminded of the candidate while they come for voting. He said that apart from these, the candidates are busy meeting caste-based organisations in villages and residential associations in the city assuring them to solve their issues. The election Commission would be issuing notification on November 12, elections will be conducted on December 7 and the results would be declared on December 11.
