For the past couple of weeks, rumours ruled the roost over former minister and Sanath Nagar TDP MLA Talasani Srinivasa Yadav that he would be taking plunge into the TRS party any moment. This was causing a bit of concern to the TDP camp. In fact, he also held extensive discussions with KCR and other TRS leaders giving an impression that a party change was imminent.

This was more evident with the fact Talasani also started avoiding key TDP meetings off late. According to reports, Talasani skipping TDP politburo meeting was seen as the last straw. However, Talasani reportedly surprised everyone attending the Telangana TDP leaders meeting held today. At the same time, Teegala Krishna Reddy and Errabelli also arrived enthusiastically at the venue.

Therefore, does it mean that Aakarash policy of KCR has failed to take off this time? Well we need to wait till Deepavali but again, Talasani’s presence today gave some boost to Babu!
