By just talking about the development done by them in the last three years, Congress received a blow in previous by-polls. As they scored no seat then, Kiran Kumar is now resorting to several schemes for those constituencies. Though Gas connection scheme 'Deepam' is promised for the whole state, party-workers will start it first in those 18 constituencies.
To barricade Jagan from wooing minority vote-banks, these schemes will be first started in their areas only. On the other hand, to satisfy his party people, Kiran is granting mini-power projects to leaders from those districts. Analysts say that YSR too wooed the voters in the same way in 2009 to make them re-elect Congress to power. Let us see how the strategy works.
