18 Hyderabad TDP Corporators May Join TRS
They are likely to meet KCR in a day or two, and might join the Party along with 5 TDP legislators including Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Teegala Krishna Reddy.
The Telugu Desam Party is likely to suffer a major jolt in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation with 18 of its corporators reportedly deciding to join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
According to sources, 18 TDP corporators of the GHMC have given their consent to defecting from the TDP to join the ruling party.
They are likely to meet Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in a day or two, and might join the Party along with 5 TDP legislators including Talasani Srinivas Yadav and Teegala Krishna Reddy.
Just like Talasani, who first met the Chief Minister on the pretext of representing the housing problem in his area, the TDP corporators too will meet KCR seeking funds for the development of Hyderabad.
Sources say that the TDP corporators will get a confirmation from the Chief Minister that they will be given tickets from the divisions of their choice for the next GHMC polls. Then they will announce their joining the TRS.
When contacted, TDP GHMC floor leader Singireddy Srinivas Reddy denied the reports and described them as rumours. He said that that Party was intact under the leadership of Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana TDP president L Ramana. He said that only a few leaders with vested interests were leaving the TDP for their own personal gains. (INN)
