TRS chief begins lobbying for separate Telangana

Confident of a good show in both the Lok Sabha and state assembly elections, Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao Sunday left for Delhi to lobby for separate statehood to the Telangana region.


Even before the completion of the election process in most parts of the country, the TRS has launched efforts not only to keep its flock together but also to lobby at the centre and mount pressure on its ally Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the state. KCR, as the TRS chief is popularly known, left for the national capital to meet leaders of various parties to seek support for a separate Telangana state. During a week-long stay, he will meet prime ministerial candidate of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) L.K. Advani and leaders of other parties.

Though a part of the third front along with the TDP, KCR told reporters Saturday that he was ready for post-poll alliance with any party or alliance in the state and at the centre if it backs the demand for a separate Telangana. The BJP has already promised that it would carve out a separate Telangana within 100 days if voted to power at the centre.
