Telangana Rashtra Samithi MP and senior leader D Srinivas might be sending feelers to the Congress party high command that he is willing to make a home coming, but he seems to be set for facing a stiff resistance from the Telangana Congress leaders.
None other than senior Congress leader and former Rajya Sabha member V Hanumantha Rao said on Tuesday that there was no question of allowing DS into the Congress, as he betrayed the party and defected to the TRS.
“When the Congress party was facing a severe crisis, DS dumped it and jumped into the TRS for his selfish political interests. Now, he is facing existential problem in the TRS and is planning to come back into the Congress. How can we allow such a man without any principles into the party? We shall resist his attempts to come back into the Congress,” VH said.
He pointed out that there was no guarantee that DS might change his mind again, even if he was allowed entry into the Congress party.
“If TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao goes to his residence and calls him Seenanna, he will definitely fall at the feet of the chief minister and return to the TRS,” VH said.
DS, too, seems to have realised that his comeback into the Congress party will not be smooth, as the loyal Congress leaders would definitely oppose the same.
At a meeting with his followers, including public representatives from Nizamabad district, held at a farm house near Kompally on the city outskirts on Monday evening, DS discussed the future course of action.
Many followers are learnt to have suggested that he should immediately join the Congress, since his indecision would spoil the prospects of all his supporters. However, DS told them that the entry into the Congress party is so easy.
“So, let us not take a hasty decision. I will wait till KCR takes a decision. In the meantime, I will try to neutralise the resistance in the Congress party,” he reportedly told them.
