TDP has quite a difficult task before it that needs immediate attention. It has to convince its Seemandhra leaders and MLAs to stick to party stand taken in favour of division of state and vote accordingly, when the Telangana bill is introduced in the Assembly very soon. Chandrababu had an initial round of talks with his Seemandhra leaders and said to be convinced them to stick to party stand. But, he is still afraid, whether they can withstand the pressures from the people or not. Although many of the leaders are ready to stick to party stand, they are unable to make-up their mind on their stand due to these pressures.
TDP is expecting Seemandhra Congress leaders may be calmed by their high command very soon, but they do not understand how to deal with YSR Congress party, which spear is heading with its newly adopted Samaikyandhra demand. So, if TDP high command fails to vote in favour of Telangana state formation, it is going to adversely affect its chances in Telangana region. If, it votes in its favour, then YSRCP is there to brand TDP as the Andhra traitor party. So, this will be an acid test for Chandrababu and to his leaders. If, TDP could overcome this problem then it can concentrate on other issues like upgrading itself to National party status etc.
