Poll campaign at walking tracks

Warangal: Blending electioneering with fitness training, the leaders of BJP, TRS and YSRCP have been making rounds of sports grounds and walking tracks at the district headquarters seeking votes for their party candidates in Warangal Lok Sabha by-poll.

Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari and IT Minister K Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) along with party nominee P Dayakar, MLAs D Vinay Bhasker and V Sathish Babu, MP A Seetaram Naik and local leaders went for a morning walk at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Monday.

They interacted with the members of Walkers Association and sportspersons at the grounds and appealed to them to cast their vote in favour of TRS nominee P Dayakar. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has been making efforts for achieving Golden Telangana and voters should endorse his efforts by electing the party candidate.

The opposition parties, which were preventing development of the State, should be given a shock treatment in the by-election by rejecting them, the Deputy Chief Minister and KTR said.

On the other hand, BJP candidate P Devaiah, along with the party leader M Dharma Rao and others went on a morning walk at Kakatiya University play ground. He interacted with the morning walkers.

The BJP leader explained to the voters that he had joined politics and was contesting the bypoll to serve the people in his native district of Warangal. He promised to strive for all-round development of Warangal district with the help of the Centre, if elected. YSRCP nominee N Surya­prakash Rao and party State president P Srinivas Reddy have also joined the morning walkers at KU Arts College Grounds in Hanam­konda and interacted with the voters.
