TRS working president and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao left here for New Delhi along with others to represent the party in supporting the candidature of Mr. Yashwant Sinha when he will file his papers for Presidential election on behalf of the combined Opposition at New Delhi on Monday.
This brings to an end speculation over the side the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) will take in the election, particularly after its president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao announced the decision to main ‘equi-distance’ from the BJP and the Congress.
The speculation gained further ground after the TRS skipped two meetings convened by Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee and Nationalist Congress party president Sharad Pawar in New Delhi to discuss Opposition unity in the election. However, Mr. Pawar confided later that Mr. Rao had agreed to support Mr. Sinha when he called him up to extend the invitation.
