Senior Congress leader and Guntur MP Rayapati Sambhasiva rao, who is opposing the party decision of dividing the state has been gradually distancing from Congress after realizing that bifurcation is inevitable. So far, he has alerted the Congress high command several times about the negative situation that is developing against the party in the region, but it goes unheard.
But, this time he gives different signals to party as well as to rival TDP. He speculates that during next general Congress party will be completely wiped off from Seemandhra region, while YSRCP will hardly get 16-18 MLAs seats only. He predicted that TDP is going to make a clean sweep in the next elections by bagging 90-104 Assembly seats. He claims that this is not just mere guess work but it is a professional report of a survey carried out by a leading organization. Whether, he is to be believed or not, he made it clear that in case if he quits Congress party, his first preference would be TDP. Hope TDP will respond to his feelers.
