It wanted to beat the perception of it being weak in the MLC elections with a good strategy. The confident tone and an aggressive stand taken by the Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president, K.T. Rama Rao is not superficial or just to boost the morale of the party leaders but based on the ground work the party has done, according to party sources.
