According to sources KCR's scion, IT & Panchayat Raj Minister KT Rama Rao has been positioning himself as the next CM. Meanwhile there have been strong reports that KTR would take up the mantle of the CM after 2019 polls. Reports had it that KCR would move onto the national politics and he would pass on his legacy to his son KTR.
Even today, it is KTR who runs the show in the Telangana government. But all said and done, KTR may have to wait for some more time to make his dreams into reality. Moreover contrary to reports and speculations, KCR has announced that he would not move to national politics and made it clear that he would serve the people of Telangana till his last breath.
Previously KCR clearly indicated that he would
lead the Telangana state in progressive direction and stated that he is not
interested in joining national politics and the crusader of Telangana has also
told Union Home minister Rajnath Singh about his disinclination towards
national politics. Leaders opine that KCR's decision to pursue his political
career in the state politics will stall KTR to promote himself as next Chief
Minister of Telangana after 2019 elections.
