Hyderabad: Stalemate over seat-sharing between the TDP and the BJP may come to an end on Saturday as the two party leaders decided to hold final round talks before announcing the list of candidates in both Telangana and Seemandhra states. Minutes after the breaking news appeared on TV channels that TDP would announce its first list of contestants on Friday night, BJP national leaders M Venkaiah Naidu and Prakash Javdekar telephoned TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu and convinced the latter to put on hold the release of the candidate lists, which would send wrong signal as the tie-up between the two parties was yet to be finalised. The senior BJP leaders from New Delhi would fly down to the city on Saturday morning and hold final round of parleys with the state BJP leaders before holding meeting the TDP counterparts.
