Lately Congress MPs from Telangana region started behaving in a peculiar way. They started putting greater pressure on the Center than in the past about taking a favourable decision towards formation of separate Telangana. It seems, results of recent bypolls in the state have baffled them to such an extent that they started worrying what would be their fate in 2014 election. It is very likely that they are weighing options - whether to remain in the party or to join the TRS.

In highly placed circles, it is heard that at least four of T-cong MPs - Ponnam Prabhakar, Rajaiah, Vivek and Sarve Satyanarayana are likely say goodbye to the party and join TRS. Secret negotiations to this effect are going on for sometime now, say the sources. It is said that these leaders have come to the conclusion that Center shall never give in to the separate state demand, keeping seemandhra people's interests on stake. For this, they are even preparing to face the byelections, if necessary. in their view, they can easily win the byelections riding on T sentiment and in 2014, if TRS gives them tickets, it would be a cakewalk for them to the parliament. What is bothering them more is, if they remain in Congress party, it would be very difficult to win 2014 elections, even if Congress gives them tickets.
