KCR blackmailing for Cabinet posts


The Telugu Desam Party is angry with Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao’s statement that he would even go with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA, if the latter forms the government at the Centre, to achieve his goal of Telangana.

TRS leaders said KCR’s statement did not surprise them, because everybody knows his double standard attitude. “We know that KCR is playing a gamble with us. But, unfortunately for him, the people have rejected him in the elections; you will see that the TRS would hardly get a double digit in the elections. He is going to Delhi not to press for Telangana, but to bargain with the BJP leadership for a Cabinet berth or two for his party MPs if the NDA forms the government,” a senior TD leader said.

The TDP leaders made it clear that the purpose of forging alliance with the TRS was served, as the Mahakootami fared well in the Telangana region. “Our understanding is only for the state. We are not bothered whether the TRS would go with the NDA or any other alliance at the Cenre,” they said.
