KCR's Growth, Congress Fault!

The Telangana Congress leaders seem to have realised their mistake of allowing the Telangana Rashtra Samithi to grow into a monster which they are not able to conquer now.

Senior Congress leaders like S Jaipal Reddy are blaming the local Congress leaders for the party’s debacle in the 2014 elections and the lack of possibility to return to power even in the next elections.

They now say the defeat of the Congress party in the 2014 elections after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh was mainly due to the inability of the Congress party to take credit for the formation of Telangana.

According to former union minister S Jaipal Reddy, the hurried way in which the bifurcation bill was passed in the Parliament without allowing the Congress to take credit for it was another reason.

He recalled that the local Congress leaders had stoutly opposed any move to a merger of Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) with the Congress after the bifurcation bill was passed in 2014.

“These leaders have also stalled the merger of the TRS with the Congress thinking that they might lose their grip. But what had happened was that the Congress lost the chance ultimately,” he said.

He also attributed the defeat of Congress to the popularity of the TRS.
