KCR or Naidu: Who called whom?

KCR or Naidu: Who called whom?

Published Date : 07-Jul-2008 00:00:00 GMT

The report that Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao had a telephonic talk with Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu over a possible pre-poll alliance has generated a lot of interest among the political observers as well as people of Telangana.

Though it is more or less understood that the TD and TRS are seriously planning for an alliance to take on both Congress as well as Devender Goud, the curious question was who called whom: Naidu or KCR to discuss the subject. While both "Sakshi" and "Andhra Jyothy" reported that it was Naidu who called up KCR and broached the subject of alliance. They were trying to impress upon the readers that Naidu got panicky with large scale exodus of party leaders into Chiranjeevi camp in the last couple of days, since it is the more reasonable argument.

Only Eenadu wrote that both had a telephonic conversation and did not mention who called whom.

Inquiries, however, revealed that it was KCR who had called up Naidu and discussed the possibility of a pre-poll alliance between TRS and TD. Prior to that he got a call from TD MP Errabelli Dayakar Rao, who has been brainwashing Naidu over announcing a positive decision on Telangana issue, which would pave way for the alliance. Dayakar asked KCR to call up Naidu and raise the issue, since Naidu appears to be a bit positive about Telangana issue. That's how the conversation took place. It was only a preliminary talk and more such mid-night discussions would take place in near future, sources said.
