Hyderabad, April 3: There appears to be tiff between the TRS chief K Chandrasekhara Rao and his party MP Vijaya Shanti over the Medak seat.
KCR who was elected to Lok Sabha from the Mahabubnagar is unsure of getting good majority there in the next elections. Though he or any other TRS leader had any doubt over his victory there, they doubt if he would get impressive majority. KCR has been thinking of shifting to Medak, as he fears that if he doesn’t get impressive majority, opponents of Telangana would argue that the Telangana sentiment had died down.
But Congress and TDP leaders are stating that KCR would be defeated if he contests from Mahabubnagar as he badly neglected the constituency. KCR rarely visited Mahabubnagar and had not attended to any of the people’s problems, they say. If he contests from there he would be surely defeated, Congress and TDP leaders are contending.
It is a fact that KCR has been looking for a safe constituency and eyed on Vijaya Shanti’s Medak. It is learnt that retired IAS officer K V Ramanachari is trying to join TRS and has asked for Medak seat. It is in this context that KCR requested Vijaya Shanti to shift to some other constituency and tried to convince her that it would be easy for her to get elected from anywhere, because of her charisma. Still, Vijaya Shanti reportedly refused to budge.
She told her close confidents that she would not leave the Medak seat either for KCR or Ramanachary. “Why should I leave my seat for IAS or IPS officers who enjoy power and join the party just before elections? I will not leave it even for KCR” she is reported to have told her confidents.
She also reportedly opposed the candidature of Ramanachary stating that the IAS and IPS officers were part of the government that oppressed the Telangana people and hence should not be encouraged. She also reportedly opposed to industrialists or realtors being given tickets, branding them as oppressors and exploiters of Telangana people. She stoutly told KCR that she would not budge for anyone as she has been toiling for Telangana sacrificing her film career and a comfortable life.
On KCR contesting from Medak, she reportedly said that during last elections it was discussed in the party and senior leaders had decided that KCR should contest from Mahabubnagar and she from Medak. This time also it would be discussed in the party, she reportedly told her colleagues.
