K Venkata Ramana Reddy, the BJP candidate against Telangana CM and K Chandrashekhar Rao, says, "I am only looking at them (CM KCR and Revanth Reddy) as TRS and Congress candidates only. They are big people but I am not going to back off fearing them. A candidate is a candidate in my eyes... KCR was nothing 40 years ago, he became a CM over the journey of years... They became big leaders because their time was right. They should not be considered as geniuses. I am 101% sure I will win."
