Though KCR has promised over 100 massive public meetings in the runup to Telangana elections, it appears he is having a rethink over this strategy. He is now of the opinion that massive public meetings are a major drain on the party finances, time and effort. If the meet fails for some reason, it will reflect badly on the party.

He is ensuring that his message reaches the people directly. He has He has also ticked off proposals for addressing public meetings in surefire constituencies like Siddipet, Gajwel and others. He said some 15 constituencies don�€™t need any public meeting. He has already covered four to five constituencies. So, there would be no public meetings there.
