The former TDP leader and the present Deputy Chief Minister Kadiyam Srihari told the media that he has prevented his former colleague Errabelli Dayakar Rao from entering into the TRS party because he is Telangana traitor. But, at the same time he is conveniently ignoring that he betrayed the TDP that gives him name and fame. He was made as politburo member of the TDP and minister in Chandrababu Naidu’s cabinet in the late 1990s. He also represented the TDP in the all party meeting held by the UPA government in Delhi before bifurcation of the state.

He sticks to the TDP until May 11th, 2014 and jumped into the TRS party only after realizing that its electoral chances are very bright and after getting assurance for MP ticket from his home constituency Warangal. Would he join the TRS when it was struggling for separate state during last 10 years, then he can claim himself as Telangana loyalist. But, neither had he taken part in the Telangana agitations nor did he sacrifice anything for it. Just like many other opportunists he also jumped into the TRS party ahead of elections in a bid to grab ticket and power. He was elected as MP and recently becomes deputy Chief Minister of Telangana state. So, he can’t claim himself as a Telangana loyalist nor can blame Errabelli as Telangana traitor. But, he seems to be made these remarks against Errabelli only because he has political rivalry with him even while in the TDP.
