On Monday, the TRS chief was very critical of the Congress and blamed everyone – from Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi – for the mess. “The Congress had become a curse for Telangana. First it was Nehru, then Indira Gandhi killed people and now Sonia Gandhi is crushing us,” he said. KCR also used language unbecoming of a leader for Dr Manmohan Singh, provoking an angry reaction from Kiran Kumar Reddy. Asking KCR to mind his language, the CM tried to put him down as “after all the leader of a sub-regional party.” Kiran wasn’t the only one. Rajahmundry MP Arun Kumar, a known KCR baiter, ridiculed his attempts to divide the state. Even Nizamabad MP Madhu Yashki Goud, who till recently was close to KCR, is now seeking to demolish his stature as the sole spokesperson of the region. Such pinch-hitting in the last overs, the Congress hopes, will help it demolish the TRS in Telangana. While it knows it has lost significant ground in Telangana, the party plans to test how well this strategy works to help it regain lost ground in Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra. If it does in the next few months, the Congress could take a position against bifurcation and offer a development package instead. If it does not, it can carve out Telangana closer to elections and ride on that wave to do well in the region.
