Shakeel the MLA knows what he is doing. That is one way of pressurising the TRSGovernment and leader KCR. KCR the TRS chief and the Chief Minister has earlier promised the leaders with the post of MLC left and right.
All of them who met him had been promised of an MLC post and now he has not got so many MLC posts to give away. Shakeel met the BJP MP Aravind in the morning and he knew that this would make news in the political circles and put pressure on the TRS leadership.
There was news that he was joining the BJP, but later after a pet talk with KTR the TRS working president and the Minister for IT< Shakeel said that it was just a courtesy call for the development of his constituency.
How far was this truth is known to the best of his knowledge? Shakeel as an MLA is very close to Kavitha the daughter of the Chief Minister KCR. Even before entering politics, Shakeel was close to the TRS and then TRS leader KCR.
Shakeel is a prominent Muslim leader and has good contacts in Dubai also. We can say that this is one way of Shakeel to put the TRS leadership in pressure for the post that he is aspiring for.
More TRS leaders may come out in the near future, to put KCR under pressure for the promises that he made earlier.
