T-JAC chairman Prof M Kodandaram is getting ready to launch a new political party in Telangana to fight the 2019 elections it is reported.
He has also identified potential candidates in key constituencies, where there is a strong anti-establishment atmosphere prevailing.
However, political analysts doubt how far Kodandaram will succeed in tackling the mighty TRS and its leader K Chandrasekhar Rao.
If the professor succeeds, he will emerge as another Kejriwal down south or end up like Jayaprakash Narayan of Lok Satta, who converted his NGO into a political party and later disappeared from the political scene as fast as he came.
The TRS had won the last elections purely based on the Telangana sentiment. This time, it is going to be difficult without party organisation.
Since Kodandaram does not have the ambition of becoming the chief minister, the Congress may not feel any threat from his party.
It remains to be seen how far Kodandaram will succeed.
