Actor-politican Prakash Raj backs TRS in H'bad civic poll

Hyderabad, November 30

Actor-turned-politician Prakash Raj has declared his support for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in Tuesday’s elections to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).

He appealed to people of Hyderabad to vote for harmony and not divisive politics. “Dear Hyderabadis your power your right..and your conscience..to decide. Do you want peaceful Hyderabad..#GHMCElections.. please vote for harmony..not divisive politics..I stand with #TRS..#KCR #KTR,” he tweeted. Prakash Raj drew flak from All-India Congress Committee in-charge for Telangana Manickam Tagore for his appeal. The Congress leader said it was surprising to see Prakash Raj asking vote for those who are killing democracy in Telangana.

Tagore, along with his tweet, posted a video showing an alleged TRS supporter caught with money. “Father and son Chandrasekhar & Rama Rao agent caught with money and pamphlets. Still you want them to win the elections,” the Congress leader asked Prakash Raj.–IANS
