Will he be seen once the election is over, he asked.KTR also said that Azhar contested from the Moradabad Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh, but never looked back after the election, as he predicted the same will happen in Jubilee Hills.The BRS leader told the gathering that he is also a fan of Azhar. “We are also fans of Azharuddin. He was a great cricketer, but not a great politician, he said.KTR also stated that big sportspersons and filmstars won’t get work done, but a common man like Gopinath will get them done."People gave Congress 11 chances but the party cheated them each time. Minorities are still in poverty because of the Congress," he added.Asked the people to recall the condition of the state in Congress governance, KTR said that there were power holidays due to the current crisis and water shortage in the state, adding that the situation changed after the formation of Telangana state and after KCR became the Chief Minister.--IANSms/arm
