HYDERABAD: Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K Chandraskehara Rao has left for Delhi today on a mission to mobilise support of the Left in the next general elections. Already there were enough feelers both from the TRS and the TDP that they will have seat adjustments in the next elections in the Telangana region. Now, the TRS chief is on a mission that is likely to be useful both for the TDP and TRS. During his Delhi visit, Rao will meet CPM leaders Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury and CPI senior leader AB Bardhan on October 5. Chandrasekhara Rao has already met CPM State secretary BV Raghavulu recently and both the leaders are understood to have decided to work together in the next elections keeping their ideological differences apart. The main aim is to keep the Congress at bay. However, Raghavulu informed Rao that any policy decision on poll alliances would be decided by their national committee. That is why Rao was meeting Left party leaders in Delhi. Meanwhile, CPI State secretary K Narayana, who is adopting a rigid stand to keep the TDP out of the grand alliance in the making, is peeved over TRS chief ’s inclination to sail with the TDP. However, Narayana changed tack and proposed two-and-a-half years term each for TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and PRP founder Chiranjeevi. Though, Chandrasekhara Rao met Narayana recently both the leaders failed to break the ice. Though, both the parties decided to have a joint visit to Polepally SEZ during their interaction, Narayana ignored Chandrasekhar Rao when he drove to Polepally yesterday. In this backdrop, TRS chief has decided to meet CPI leader AB Bardhan and prevail upon him on the future political alliances and force Narayana to fall in line. vvbalakrishna@epmltd.com
