Following rumors on TDP Working President A Revanth Reddy’s decision to join Congress, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao devised fresh political strategy to counter the Congress attempt to emerge as strong alternative.
As a first step, KCR launched hunt for strong candidates to defeat Congress in its strong hold Assembly constituencies. The TRS Chief is also likely to give a big shock to Congress at the time of Revanth switching loyalties to Congress.
The issue of joining Revanth in Congress has come up in the marathon cabinet meeting presided over by KCR at Pragathi Bhavan here on Monday. KCR enquired the political development taking place in the state ever since Revanth stirred a political storm by his comments against AP TDP leaders.
It is learnt that KCR took serious note of unexpected political developments taking place in the TDP. He felt the mass exodus of TDP leaders to Congress may strengthen the position of the main opposition party in 2019 elections. The TRS Chief enquired ministers about the changing political equations in the districts.
KCR is seriously planning to arrest the Congress attempt to poach TDP leaders. Telaangana CM already resumed ‘Operation Akarsh’. Keeping in mind the political developments, the TRS will contact all potential Congress and TDP leaders with big offers.
