Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari, after filing his nomination papers for the MLCs elections, speaking to the media said “Our party fields the 5th candidate only because we are sure about his victory. But, we will not indulge in any kind of horse trading of MLAs of other parties.”
However, his party leaders have approached the lone independent MLA Donthi Madhava Reddy yesterday seeking his support for their 5th MLC candidate. According to reports, they assured him that he will be given appropriate position in the party, if he votes for the TRS candidate and joins the TRS party.
Currently, he is aligned with the Congress party. Hence, the Telangana Congress leaders also asked him not to leave the party and he agreed to continue in the party. Later, he declared the same. But, no one is sure how many MLAs from which party will jump into the TRS party in the last minute. BJP, TDP and Congress parties are taking all necessary precautions to keep their MLAs away from the TRS party and its temptations.
