Former minister and Hyderabad city party president Danam Nagendar finally put an end to speculations about his migration into TRS party. He is leaving Congress party and joining TRS party on Monday in the presence of Telangana Chief Minister KCR. He took the help of former PCC President D Srinivas for it, who already boarded TRS ship few months ago. Danam reportedly bargained for Hyderabad Mayor Post, but TRS leadership doesn’t agree for it as it was already promised to someone else.

 

Actually, Congress party prepared to suspend him from party yesterday. This matter was discussed during crucial meeting held at Gandhi Bhavan yesterday presided by PCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy. But, they postponed the decision after Danam Nagendar asserted that he will continue in the party. But now, Congress party has no reason to wait for taking action against him. However, his departure just ahead of GHMC elections would be a big blow for the party.

 

Congress MP Gutta Sukhender Reddy reacting on this defection suggested that TRS government should create an “Operation Akarsha” portfolio and allot it to minister Jagadiswar Reddy. He said TRS is virtually killing the democracy with its elections strategies of attracting other parties’ leaders into party.
