Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao lambasted BJP President Amit Shah and even called him names. People who were expecting TRS to join NDA were shocked by this development. In the same press meet, KCR told the media that they did not take a decision about support in the Presidential Election.
Not supporting NDA Candidate in the election will mean that TRS has joined the Opposition. This will mean that joining the anti-Modi gang. Given that it is confirmed that BJP will be coming to power once again in 2019 and having good terms with the Center will be vital.
Senior Leaders of TRS told the Chief Minister not to take such drastic step. In the worst case scenario, TRS will abstain from the voting in the crucial election. Insiders say that in all probability that TRS will support the NDA candidate in the election.
The tenure of President Pranab Mukherjee ends on July 24th. NDA is also yet to announce its candidate for the election. Congress is reaching out to all the Opposition Parties to put up a common candidate against NDA candidate. BJP is not keen on going for election in this prestigious election and is trying its level best for the election to be unanimous.
