Danam rubbishes news of joining TRS

Hyderabad: In a surprise twist, Greater Hyderabad Congress chief Danam Nagender made it clear that he will not leave the Congress party under any circumstances.

Speaking to the media on Council premises on Monday, Danam said it was true that TRS leaders have asked him to join their party. At the same time, he alleged that some Congress leaders have created conditions for him to leave the party. He however, rubbishing the news, said there was not an iota of truth that he was joining TRS, and made it clear that he would strive to strengthen the Congress party in the Telangana State.

He advised the media not to embarrass him by frequently asking him whether he would change the party or not. He said he was pained at the attempts to reduce the limits of Greater Hyderabad Congress Committee. The Greater Hyderabad cadre was along with him and they were ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of him, he said and informed that he would meet all the Greater leaders at Shabbir Ali’s residence on Tuesday at 11 am.

It may be recalled that rumors did the rounds that Danam would join TRS party in the presence of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday.

Meanwhile, Shabbir Ali said the TRS party was playing mind games and was trying to run the government with hired leaders. “It is not good for the State.

People will not like the TRS government if it wants to buy the leaders and run the government,” he said.
