Realignment of forces is gaining momentum on the political landscape of Telangana with the scheduled time for Assembly elections narrowing down to hardly 16 months, causing a stir and headache mainly for the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
Even before the bickering in the party unit in Kollapur Assembly constituency of Nagarkurnool district has subsided, a similar problem has cropped up in Maheshwaram Assembly constituency represented by Minister for Education P. Sabitha Indra Reddy. Ms. Sabitha Reddy won the 2018 election on Congress ticket defeating T. Krishna Reddy of the TRS and she is one among the dozen Congress MLAs who switched over to the ruling party.
