Assembly polls in Telangana were originally scheduled to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha elections next year.

The AICC general secretary in charge of Telangana affairs, Khuntiaalsoclaimed that the graph of Modiand NDAgovernment was going down while that of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi was on the rise.

A separate Telangana State was created due to the efforts of then UPA government andUPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Khuntia added.
