Is T-Bhavan KCR's own property?


A debate is going on in political circles following the reports that rebel Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders might lay siege to Telangana Bhavan, the party’s headquarters at Banjara Hills.

On Sunday, TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao’s follower Yennam Srinivasa Reddy, who unsuccessfully contested for MLC seat and also tried for Mahbubnagar Lok Sabha seat, staged a revolt against the boss. He addressed a press conference right in Telangana Bhavan and demanded that KCR resigned from the party president’s post and vacate the Telangana Bhavan. The police also made huge bandobust at the Bhavan, following a complaint from KCR’s loyalists.

Inquiries revealed that had foreseen the situation long ago and ensured that the building was registered in his name, rather than in the name of the party. Perhaps, he might have sensed that there would be split in the TRS one day and there was a possibility of revolt against him for betraying the Telangana cause. So, he took that care.
