According to sources, the TRS working president was unhappy with the slow progress in the membership drive.

The membership drive was started on February 12. The leaders were asked to make 50,000 members in every constituency. In some of the constituencies, the membership drive was completed and in some the process got delayed because of the Graduates elections going on.
