Working president of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) K.T. Rama Rao has said that his party was not part of Opposition as a front in the Presidential election but supporting the candidature of Mr. Yashwant Sinha in its individual capacity.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi after Mr. Sinha had filed his nomination, Mr. Rama Rao said the TRS supported the former to defeat the BJP for heading an “autocratic, dictatorial, undemocratic and unconstitutional” rule in the country. Since the President occupied the highest constitutional post in a democracy, it was decided to defeat the BJP candidate in the election to save democracy.
The TRS looked forward to the victory of Mr. Sinha and will play its part in appealing to parties other than those that had joined hands now to make common cause.
