KCR Faces Heat After Patch up
TRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao, who mended fences with T JAC chairman M Kodandaram, is facing heat with the T-JAC co-chairman Srinivas Goud raising hoarse for ignoring the latter, while rumbling of dissent is being heard in TRS over KCR choosing Swamy Goud for MLC nomination.
Srinivas Goud, who is also the chairman of TGO , is sulking that he was not invited to the meeting held on Friday where KCR and Kodandaram were patched up, and he came out openly on Sunday morning with his objections. "I think there are some elements trying the divide the T-JAC, and KCR must not heed to them," he said.
Along with Kodandaram, Srinivas Goud had been fallen out of KCR's grace following the BJP handed a shocking defeat the TRS in Mahbubnagar bypoll in March this year as the TRS supremo surmised that the saffron party was unduly supported by the T-JAC, and he naturally was upset when he was left out when the patch up deal was struck.
Meanwhile, KCR's announcement of nominating former president of TNGO Swamy Goud as an MLC candidate from TRS has caused heart burns in the party. While Swamy Goud, who joined the party on Friday, will contest from Karimnagar graduate constituency in the Legislative Council elections to be held in February, the aspirants including the incumbent N Lakshman Rao, Karinanagar town president of TRS S Ravinder Singh, former MLC Sathyanarayana are seething as they were reportedly assured by KCR of the party nomination.
