Who Is KCR's Successor?

Who Is KCR's Successor?

This question has been doing rounds in the political and media circles ever since the TRS came to power in the new state of Telangana in 2014.

The general impression given to everybody is that KCR’s son and IT minister K T Rama Rao will be the natural heir of the party and he would succeed his father as the Chief Minister in 2019, if not now. Even KCR’s daughter and Nizamabad MP K Kavitha made it clear that KTR is the heir apparent of the party.

However, Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao has brushed aside the speculations. He bluntly told the media that there was no need for anybody to debate or speculate on the successor of KCR.

“What is the need to talk about KCR’s successor now? He is going to continue as the Chief Minister of Telangana for another 20 years. So, the question of KCR’s successor does not arise now, at all,” he said.

By saying so, Harish has given a clear indication that he would not accept KTR as the successor of KCR and that anybody can be in the race after 20 years. This is really interesting and might kick up a war for power in the coming days, say sources.
