Hyderabad, Dec 30 (PTI) Two years ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, Telangana Chief Minister and BRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao made his foray into national politics while the state politics saw a twist with the CBI grilling his daughter in the ‘excise scam’. The year saw the regional party and the BJP, now aspiring to shatter KCR’s dreams of securing a hat-trick of Assembly election wins next year, continue to spar.
KCR, as Chief Minister Rao is addressed, sought to go national with the launch of Bharat Rashtra Samiti in 2022 while an alleged poaching attempt to lure some ruling party MLAs out of it kept the political temperature high in the state during the year, promising exciting action ahead of the Assembly elections in December next year.
Away from the world of politics, the city-based vaccine maker Bharat Biotech received fresh acclaim in the outgoing year with its intra-nasal Covid-19 vaccine iNCOVACC getting the nod for its inclusion in the inoculation drive.
