Price of Telangana: TRS demands more seat share for merger with Congress

Hyderabad: Complicating further the matters for Congress, smarting under the backlash from Seemandhra leaders over passing of Telangana Bill, the TRS reportedly wants more share of seats in the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in

Interestingly, some of the TRS politburo members have opened a channel of talks with the BJP hoping to secure the party's tickets either for Lok Sabha or state Assembly.

"Naturally, the number of aspirants for tickets is high given the euphoric political climate for us. Those who feel can't get accommodated in the event of a merger, may obviously look for alternatives," the politburo member said, though he did not like to confirm a possible exodus of senior leaders from the TRS.

"There are certainly different lines of thought over the possible merger or alliance with the Congress and the actual course of our future action. These issues came up for discussion with our chief K Chandrasekhar Rao (in New Delhi) the other day. Once he takes a final call, many things will unfold," he added.
