KCR condition rejected by Vijayashanthi

Heroine-turned-Talli Telangana president Vijayashanti is understood to have rejected the condition put forth by Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao for merger of her party with TRS.

The TRS president said last week that the merger would take place in two or three days. But even after five days, it did not materialise.

Inquiries revealed that Vijayashanti did not accept KCR's condition, after discussing with her colleagues in the party. They told her that she would lose her identity, once she joins the TRS and it was very difficult for her to adjust to KCR's style of functioning.

They suggested that she could agree to have a tie-up with TRS and also with other Telangana outfits like Nava Telangana Praja Party of Devender Goud, so that she would have some bargaining power. If she joins TRS, she might not even get the party ticket in the next elections, they warned. So, that is the story so far!
