Congress Offers Deputy CM Post to R.Krishnaiah?If the reports emerging in the media are to be believed, Congress Party has offered Deputy Chief Minister post to BC Associations President R. Krishnaiah if he joins Congress and extends unilateral support to the party. Krishnaiah joined Telugu Desam Party before the 2014 Elections.

Out of desperation, Chandrababu Naidu announced him as the party’s Chief Minister Candidate to woo the BC voters. Krishnaiah won from LB Nagar but TDP is confined only to a handful of seats. Later Krishnaiah dissociated from the party citing no importance to him and is operating independently.

Earlier there were rumors that he may float a new party but KCR’s Assembly dissolution came as a surprise. It has to be seen if his joining the Congress party will have an influence in the state politics given that BCs form the major chunk of voters in the state.
