With reports that many former councillors from the main parties, Congress and TDP are reportedly insisting on holding the civic body election as a pre-condition for them to actually jump the fence into pink party , the TRS government is in change of a mind.
There are reports that now GHMC elections may be announced for as early as June this year. The good performance during the recently-held Secunderabad Cantonment Board elections too has boosted the confidence of the TRS leadership to go for the civic polls.
Sources say that nearly 30 TDP and Congress councillors who were until now in the recently expired council and another four sitting MLAs from GHMC limits are keen to join the TRS party.
Although the TRS was initially reluctant on early GHMC polls, now with many strongmen from TDP and Congress ready to join TRS on the condition that the polls have to be held at the earliest, TRS is of the opinion that they can do well in the elections.
