As the time for the next Assembly elections is narrowing down and realignment of political forces is gaining momentum with both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress focusing on attracting leaders from rival parties, voice of dissent within the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) too appears to be picking up steam.
While it has remained largely outside Chief Minister and TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s native combined Medak district so far, recent developments clearly indicate that it is gaining mass there too. On Friday, municipal chairperson of Narsapur and former district president of the party A. Murali Yadava questioned the leadership openly for giving a lift to “defectors and those who worked against the statehood movement” at the cost of those who worked for the party and the movement.
Mr. Yadava, who was Medak district president of TRS from 2015 to 2019, expressed discontent against the leadership openly questioning why the defectors were being given plum posts and for what reason those working hard for the party were being neglected.
