TRS team to visit Tamil Nadu next month to learn organisational politics of the DMK and AIADMK
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) working president, K.T. Rama Rao has alleged collusion of Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Huzurabad bypoll and it reflected in fielding an ‘unknown’ candidate from the Congress.
He said this collusion was a larger plan of ensuring BJP candidate Mr. Eatala Rajender’s win and later inviting him to the Congress party along with some other leaders. He also named former MP and senior BJP leader Vivek Venkatswamy will accompany Mr. Rajender into the Congress. He claimed that former MP Konda Vishweshwer Reddy writing an open letter to Mr. Eatala Rajender, seeking support in Huzurabad was a part of this conspiracy.
In an informal interaction with reporters here, he termed the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Bhatti Vikramarka as a soft person and good individual but unfortunately, who has no say in his party under the new Congress team. When asked if it was an invitation for him to join the TRS, he replied ‘All I am saying is he is a good person and his voice is ignored in the Congress.’
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
