Most probably no, say TRS members. Well, the reason cited by them is that Chandra Babu Naidu hasn’t been formally sworn in as the Chief Minister.

The Congress party, which has already been in a beleaguered state following its rout in the recent elections, is crying foul over the attempts of the Centre and the AP governments to change the name of Shamshabad airport as NTR Airport.

This was the question media persons asked Governor ESL Narasimhan when he addressed his last press conference as the head of Andhra Pradesh, which would be split into two on June 2.

Till last year, the Andhra Pradesh Formation Day used to be celebrated on November 1, as the State came into existence on this day in 1956.

It looks like Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA government at the Centre headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has thrown open doors for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi for a compromise in the coming days.

Congress MP V Hanumatha Rao, a hardcore loyalist of Sonia Gandhi family, on Friday flayed Telugu Desam Party and BJP for trying to name Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Shamshabad) after former Chief Minister and actor N T Rama Rao.

Political observers are able to see a lot of difference between the functioning of Chief Minister-designate of Seemandhra N. Chandrababu Naidu and his Telangana counterpart TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao.

In a peculiar development, hardcore Telangana protagonist K Kesava Rao has been allocated to Seemandhra region as the Rajya Sabha MP, while hardcore integrationist K V P Ramachandra Rao has been declared as Telangana MP.

Telangana Rashtra Samithi president and Chief Minister-designate K Chandrasekhar Rao is yet to finalise the list of members to be inducted into his cabinet.

The Telangana Congress leaders, who failed to capitalize on their party president Sonia Gandhi’s efforts to grant the separate Statehood to the region in the elections, are now trying to rectify their mistake, though it is a futile exercise now.

What has led to the debacle of the YSR Congress party in the recent assembly elections in Seemamdhra?

KCR will not be inviting his Seemandhra counterpart Chandrababu Naidu to his swearing-in ceremony on June2.

KCR’s attempts to whip up regional sentiments once again by calling for a Bandh did not find favor with the Central government which took a serious view of the matter.
