Harish Rao the minister for irrigation is in news. His name is linked with the Congress and also the BJP from time to time. To create a rift in the ruling TRS party the political parties are inviting Harish Rao into their own folds. Most of them claim that Harish is in touch with them, which is not true. Harish in fact has openly clarified that he will agree with the decision of KCR the TRS supremo who is also his uncle. He has no objection if KTR is made the CM of Telangana.
The clarification of KTR the IT Minister and son of CM KCR that Harish will not join Congress party and that there is no difference between them made the people to think. There was no need for KTR to make this kind of clarification. The Congress leaders not only invited Harish to Join the Congress, but also stated that Harish is the deserving candidate for the post of CM.
On the other hand KTR who is a dynamic leader is exhibiting over confidence in all the meetings and brushing the opposition aside with aggressive nature. This kind of attitude is not correct. The more you criticize others, the more they get the advantage. Instead KTR must adopt cautious and constructive criticism. Otherwise KTR would be giving undue advantage to the Congress party. It is like free publicity to them.
When it comes to Harish Rao he is cool like a cucumber as the entire opposition is looking at him. Rumors are being floated in the political gatherings and get together that Harish is in touch with Amit Shah the BJP President, which is absolutely baseless. Harish is a calculated politician, but cannot be a backstabber at any point of time. He may not be the number 2 in the TRS rank and file, but he has all the importance with KCR.
There are times when KCR deals only with Harish and not KTR. Harish has his own identity and importance in TRS and the opposition will not succeed in luring him at any point of time.
