Political developments are taking place at a blitzkrieg speed in Telangana. Even though both TRS and Congress claim complete mandate, on the other hand, both these parties are busy holding talks with the other parties, candidates.
Latest we hear is that Congress is dead serious about forming the government in Telangana. In fact, Congress’ top leadership is said to be okay with giving up the CM post, but it wants to stop Narendra Modi.
If Telangana verdict is anywhere close to hung, both TRS and Congress need additional support to form the government. Amidst reports that BJP would lend its support externally to TRS-MIM combo, Congress wants to put a check to such. Congress is now toying with the idea of offering CM post to Asaduddin Owaisi. Apparently, senior leaders of Congress from Delhi are reportedly sending feelers to MIM that even they are willing to sacrifice the CM post to Owaisi to stop BJP’s rise in Telangana. Apart from this, Congress also estimating that joining hands with Owaisi could benefit it across the nation in getting miniority votes.
Not long ago, Akbaruddin Owaisi had stated – during political campaign – that MIM has chances to have a CM from its fold, Congress’ talks with MIM may give an edge. But one thing is for sure, to counter the speculation of TRS, MIM and BJP joining forces to form government, Congress is leaving no leaf unturned. However, let’s wait till 11th Dec to see what is in store.
