TRS: Fishing in troubled waters
Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leadership is maintaining a 'strategic silence' on the prevailing political situation and planning to strike at the right time to weaken the ruling Congress further, thus turning it to their advantage in achieving separate statehood for the region.
With the four rebel TDP legislators including Nagam Janardhan Reddy seeking to get their resignations accepted in the next couple of days, the TRS is trying to exert pressure on the Congress MLAs from the region to quit the Assembly for separate state through the Joint Action Committee.
On the other hand, TRS President K Chandrasekhara Rao is reportedly in touch with senior Congress leaders from the region on the issue. If the Congress MLAs also resign immediately, the Government will fall which in turn would result in the movement for separate Telangana gaining momentum.
Believing in the age old dictum 'enemy's enemy is friend,' the TRS leaders are also understood to have decided to tacitly extend support to YSR Cong. Party President Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and hence they have been taking extra care while making statements about him.
The TRS is planning to corner the Telugu Desam and its MLA T Harish Rao has challenged its leaders to move no confidence motion against the Congress government as it has enough members and numbers in the Assembly.
Even the YSR Congress leadership, which has been accusing the Telugu Desam for joining hands with the ruling Congress to defame Mr Jaganmohan Reddy, is contemplating to demand the main opposition party the same.
