"Forget TD, TRS has many other takers"

Telangana Rashtra Samithi seems to be of the view that if it comes out of Maha Kootami, it will be welcomed with open hands by other parties like the Congress and Praja Rajyam Party.

That is the reason why, TRS leaders are blackmailing Telugu Desam and the Communist parties, demanding more seats. "Many other parties are eagerly waiting to have an alliance with the TRS. So, it is for the Maha Kootami members to decide whether they need us or not," TRS official spokeman Jagadeeshwara Reddy said.

However, KCR is only living in fool's paradise. Except a few outdated politicians, most of the Congress leaders are feeling a lot more relaxed with the high command endorsing the development agenda of Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. In fact, YSR reiterated on Thursday that there was no question of passing a resolution in the Assembly on Telangana. So, they might resist the re-entry of TRS into the UPA camp. Even if it is done, the Congress might not accept KCR's demand for 10 Lok Sabha and 50 Assembly seats.

So, the only option is PRP. But, it is doubtful whether Chiranjeevi will welcome TRS into his camp and allot so many seats to it. In any way, the options are limited for KCR. Otherwise, TRS has to contest the polls on its own and see its own debacle!
