Telangana Telugu Desam Party leaders have now received a rude shock
when the party general secretary Nara Lokesh Naidu has conveyed them
the shocking side. He has bluntly told them that there is no question of
they being allocated any Rajya Sabha seat.
TDP
Legislature Party leader in Assembly A Revanth Reddy, as well as former
minister Mothkupalli Narasimhulu, had met Chief Minister Chandrababu
Naidu at Vijayawada recently. They reportedly appealed to him to give a
single Rajya Sabha seat to a Telangana leader.
They
supported this with the fact they have been sincerely trying to protect
the identity of the yellow party in the region. Chandrababu told them
that he may consider if the third seat will not be given to the BJP.
However, it is almost confirmed that it would be given to Nirmala
Sitharaman.
He reportedly asked them to get in
touch with Lokesh and when they met Lokesh the same afternoon, he
bluntly revealed that there is no possibility of offering any RS seat to
Telangana leaders because there is a heavy competition for this in
Andhra itself. This move by TDP high command might invoke some
resentment.
