TRS to Snap Ties With TJAC

TRS supremo K Chandrasekhar Rao has reportedly decided to snap ties with TJAC giving rise to many piquant questions on the future of Telangana movement. TRS party sources say that KCR took the extreme decision following TJAC convenor Kodandaram's unilateral decision to bring all T-forces under one umbrella.
Differences have cropped up between KCR and Kodanadaram time and again for one reason or the other. While TRS sources say that KCR was upset with Kodandaram's move to rally all the T forces, TJAC claims that Kodandaram was upset with the manner in which KCR dominated the steering committee meetings in which leaders from the TRS and JAC took part. However, it was T-JAC that struck first by staying away from the rasta roko held by the TRS on May 14 and the protests outside mandal headquarters on May 19. On Monday, Kodandaram decided to cancel the meeting that was scheduled to be held between the Telangana Students' JAC and the TRS.
The bone of contention between TJAC and KCR is that the JAC, despite the TRS chief's disapproval, took part in the meetings organised by Nagam in Mahbubnagar in the second week of May. "Till T-JAC comes out with a clear stand on its support to TRS and Nagam's agitation, KCR will not meet the JAC leaders," a TRS leader said. On the other hand, TJAC spokesman C Vithal put the blame on KCR stating that the TRS has taken up its agitational programmes without consulting the JAC.
