Ex-PM PV Narasimha Rao is the buzzword in the graduates constituency polls, writes VJM Divakar
The ruling TRS party and its chief, K Chandrasekhar Rao, have made the daughter of the former PM, Surabhi Vani, their candidate. KCR s naming her at the last minute has sent shockwaves in the BJP, which is now trying to find a foothold in the state. The move also took the Congress by surprise, as it never thought of any PV family member getting into active politics now.

The Congress party has long forgotten former Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao. The BJP, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi, remembers him only during the elections and when he visits Telangana, to recall how the Congress party, especially Sonia Gandhi, insulted the former PM. The state Congress leadership has no time to talk about PV.
