TRS wakes up to loyalists’ anger
The Hindu
Party plans to fill 500 nominated posts
The Kaushik Reddy episode has ruffled the feathers of many die-hard and loyal Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) activists and the open questioning of his choice as MLC with their local MLAs and leaders seems to have spurred the party to promise nominated posts to those who have sailed with the party in difficult times. Entry of Congress MLAs and their followers, and numerous elected representatives invited into the party-fold before every bypoll in the State has diminished political opportunities for those who sacrificed their time and money for the party during the Telangana agitation. However, except expressing anguish on a few occasions party activists confined their disappointment to murmurs. Somehow, the nomination of Kaushik Reddy as MLC blew the lid on the suppressed frustration and even the most disciplined party leaders started airing their views openly, leaving local MLAs with nothing much to console them. The most vociferous of these are from Karimnagar district, particularly Huzurabad Assembly segment where the bypoll is scheduled.
