There is speculation that Telangana TDP president Kasani Gyaneshwar Mudiraj is likely to join the BRS in front of KCR.
The TDP has decided not to contest the Telangana polls to benefit the Congress party under Revanth.
It is learnt that Revanth has a back door agreement with the TDP for winning the Telangana polls and trouncing the KCR regime here.
At the same time, the BRS is also ready to induct Kasani into its fold. Kasani has some hold or the other in Telangana and it would help the BRS in the coming elections.
Kasani declared that the TDP would contest from all the constituencies in Telangana. However, there was a declaration in the name of TDP GS Lokesh that their party would not contest the elections in Telangana.
Soon Mudiraj said that the information was not correct and that he would speak to Naidu and give clarity. Then he said that the T-TDP would contest from 89 segments. However, within hours, the TDP leadership changed its decision.
The reality is that the TDP has its base in many districts of Telangana. With Ravula Chandrasekhar of TDP joining the BRS, taking Kasani into the fold is very easy.
