KCR plans sending either Harish or KTR to LS?

Taking cue from the expectations of early polls for Lok Sabha, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao caught in dilemma over sending one senior leader either his son KTR or his nephew Harish Rao to Delhi to take the Telangana voice in the Parliament.

The crucial polit buro meeting of Telangana Rashtra Samithi is likely to decide on the issue. TRS is making preparations for elections in the state as well as at the Centre following the announcement of withdrawal of support by UPA allies one after the other. Similarly Kiran Kumar Reddy’s government also slipped into minority after a good number of MLAs had shifted their loyalties to YSR Congress party and have openly thrown a challenge to take action against them and go for by-elections. 

KCR found absence of his party’s active role in the Parliament as he and Vijayashanti were only representing from TRS in the Lok Sabha. KCR is understood to have realized that exerting pressure at the State level will yield no result to achieve his goal of forming separate state for Telangana. The concentration should be at the Centre, so the party required a strong leader who can vociferously raise T voice in the Lok Sabha. He thought it should be either Harish Rao or KTR. 

In a recent development, KCR is reported to have decided to drop Vijayashanti, TRS MP from Medak too and bring in a new face in the Parliament in her place. She may be restricted to State politics as he had closely observed her performance at the Central level. Telangana has 17 LS seats and the TRS is eying at least 10 seats to win in the next elections and either Harish Rao or KTR should lead them in the Parliament.

Party sources, however, revealed that both Harish Rao and KTR are showing a little interest to play role in central politics. KCR himself prefers Harish Rao than his son KTR, who had moved aggressively in Delhi when a Telangana youth committed suicide in front of the Parliament Bhavan. Undoubtedly, KCR has too his own fears about the proposal as it may spark a rift between the two leaders.

So, he is taking every care to decide one of them using his political intelligence. TRS circles observe that he will use his close acquaints in the party to propose one leader (possibly Harish Rao) at the polit buro meeting to be held in a couple of days.
