Now that the deadline for withdrawal of nomination has also ended, all the political parties in Telangana are busy pacifying the rebel candidates. A Congress leader marched a step further and did an unusual thing to calm down his opponent.
KS Ratnam who shifted from TRS to Congress, also managed to ticket for the Chevella constituency. Another leader from the same constituency Padala Venkata Swami was denied ticket and so he is upset. Ratnam has been trying to appease Padala but he could not. With the election date nearing, Ratnam made his moves swiftly to get Padala’s support at all cost and accordingly in a meeting with Congressmen, Ratnam had bowed down and touch the feet of Padala.
This act has shocked everyone and with no other option left Padala welcomed Ratnam and assured all the possible help in election.
Though this is not a way to sort things with rebels, it worked for Ratnam. We have to see how many will copy him or look for other ways.
