Ghmc Polls

Hyderabad: Will the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) abandon its major anti-Congress plank to impede winning streak and win a few seats in the forthcoming elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation? Will Nandamuri family members meekly agree to have truck with the Congress if the TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu takes a decision in this regard? Will the BJP, which had seat adjustments with the TDP, remain quiet in the event of the latter having an understanding with the Congress?

  • A section of T TDP leaders broaches the subject with their party chief
  • The alliance between two parties proposes to impede the progress of the TRS juggernaut

The possibility of the TDP entering into some sort of an alliance with the Congress in the GHMC election is being hotly debated among the TDP leaders. In fact, some of the Telangana TDP leaders have reportedly suggested that such an alliance is essential. This move, they feel, is intended to impede the progress of the TRS juggernaut in the forthcoming elections to the Legislative Council and GHMC elections.

The T TDP leaders are understood to have communicated to Naidu that the proposal for tie-up between the two parties has come from the Congress senior leaders. Though no decision has so far been taken on the alliance, a section of the TDP leaders believe that such an understanding between the Congress, TDP and the Left parties is not desirable. They are asserting that N T Rama Rao founded the party on the anti-Congress plank.

Apart from it, the alliance will not help stop the onward march of the ruling party. Such an alliance will give a handle to the TRS to attack the Opposition parties of entering into an unholy coalition to take the Telangana people for a ride. Indications are that the TDP is likely to take a decision on tie-up with the Congress soon.
