Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who has completely neglected the party in Telangana region, received a request from the party leaders for nominating one of them to Rajya Sabha.
Telangana TDP president L Ramana met Naidu on Tuesday and asked him to allocate one of the three Rajya Sabha seats from Andhra Pradesh to a Telangana TDP leader.
“There is no possibility of the party to have its representation in Rajya Sabha from Telangana region. So, if a Telangana TDP leader gets an RS nomination from AP, it will give boost to the party in Telangana and we can bounce back in the coming days,” Ramana told Naidu.
However, Naidu parried the request saying he would look into it. Sources said Naidu may not entertain the request as there are too many aspirants for the RS seat in Andhra Pradesh and if a Telangana leader is given the RS nomination, it will cause unrest among the Andhra leaders.
Secondly, there is no way the TDP can get back its glory in Telangana even if they struggle a lot. So, there is no point in pampering the Telangana TDP leaders at present, say sources.
