In politics there are no permanent enemies or friends. But some statements always create sensation. Right after the crushing defeat of its party candidate in Warangal by elections for lok sabha, senior Congress leader, Nalgonda MP Gutta Sukhender Reddy came with shocking statements.
He said for the 2019 assembly elections to come to power in Telangana, his party will forge strong alliance with Chandra Babu Naidu's TDP. He added that nothing was lost even when Congress lost Warangal elections.
This came as a shocker since TDP itself was formed on strong anti Congress sentiment and it cannot dilute its anti congress stand. TDP since its formation always forged alliances with parties who fought against Congress at state as well as Centre.
Sukhender Reddy failed to explain on how alliance between Sonia Gandhi's Congress and Chandra Babu's TDP which is an ally of PM Modi's BJP can turn into a reality. Before Warangal elections some speculated on TDP-TRS entering into an alliance as neither Chandra Babu and nor his son Lokesh campaigned while KCR campaigned once.
Both TDP and TRS leaders shared good bonhomie before the elections. KCR too didnot criticise Chandra Babu in the election campaigning and if this continues Congress will be wiped out completely before 2019.
