Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao has set October as deadline for all his party MLAs to show their performance by completing all the works and schemes sanctioned in their respective assembly constituencies. The ruling party legislators have also been directed to improve public relations and bridge the gap between voters and the party leadership before the beginning of the election season in the state.

If anyone fails to meet his expectations, the sitting MLAs will become sitting ducks.
Out of 90 legislators, 40 of them are not up to the mark in achieving the targets. The chief minister is also examining the public relations maintained by his MLAs with people at ground level and their capability of addressing the grievances of all communities. He wanted every ticket aspirant in the next election to maintain good rapport with all voters and be available to all sections round the clock.

Mahabubnagar, Suryapet, Alair, Achampet, Nagarkurnool, Munugodu are among the segments where KCR will field new faces in next elections, it is learnt.
