Telangana: Is this the master plan of KCR?

Hyderabad, July 15: TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao have braked a master plan to keep the party on pinnacle besides any upshot in the fast-approaching elections.

A party source revealed Telangana CM's plan is to have a pre-poll understanding with the MIM and, as things perch, a post-poll league with the BJP. The post-poll BJP association will depend on whether the party can form government at the Centre (or) not.

If not, CM KCR wants to merge with Third Front parties, if they are capable of forming government at the Centre after the poll results are out.

KCR implied that if the TRS enters into any interpretation with the BJP ahead of the elections, it would only benefit the Congress, the main opposition in the state. He is of the view that the party should not take any step which could benefit the Congress.

4 independent surveys ordered by Telangana CM on the anticipation of the TRS and other parties unveiled that the main fight in most of the constituencies would be between the TRS and Congress. His stance over any pre-poll alliance with the BJP comes in this scenery.

The CM felt that the BJP has a mean only in the GHMC limits but any tie-up with the party would brunt the TRS' minority vote bank in all the districts, where BJP has no major omnipresence.

Sources said the CM was of the opinion that there should be 'friendly contests' with the MIM as it does not enter into any pre-poll (or) post-poll alliances. The TRS would tract candidates only for a label in the Old City without taking up any canvass by any top party leader.

According to party sources, CM KCR started engaging sincerely on the twin strategy on the advice of JDS chief and former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda who recently met him in Pragathi Bhavan and advised him to falsify any front only after the poll results are away.

Gowda told Telangana CM that no front would be possible prior to polls; they can be a reality only after the results are out as had happened in Karnataka where the JDS and the Congress joined hands to form the government through the BJP secured more number of seats.
