The Telugu Desam and the Praja Rajyam are trying to lure the TRS to have a electoral alliance with them. This was disclosed by the TRS MP, Mr B. Vinod on Tuesday. He said that leaders of these parties were in touch with TRS leaders and had “unofficial” discussion on an alliance. Even though both these parties have not taken a stand on Telangana publicly, they wanted to assure the TRS that they will not oppose the formation of a separate state. They do not want to come out in support of Telangana fearing a backlash in coastal Andhra and Rayalseema regions. “We want unconditional support for Telangana. Riders like ‘if necessary’ or ‘if people wanted’ should not be there. They must come out clear and accept the people sentiment. Then we don’t have any objection to go with them,” Mr Vinod said.
