10 MLAs gear up to join TRS

Hyderabad: Politicians of all hues and shades are attracted to the winning party, as the Telangana Rashtra Samiti is finding out.
After its big win in the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections as also the Zilla Parishad elections, candidates from other parties are now making a beeline for the TRS.

Ten newly elected MLAs from other parties, including the BSP, the Congress and one Independent, have reportedly expressed a desire to join the TRS, claim party leaders.
However, TRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao is cautious about encouraging defections since the TRS faced just such a situation during the rule of Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy and had severely criticised the Congress for engineering such defections.

The TRS leaders have named three MLAs desirous of joining the TRS:  I. Indrakaran (Nirmal), and Koneru Konappa (Sirpur), both of the BSP and the Narsampet Independent MLA, Mr Donti Madhav Reddy.
However, no decision has been taken on their admission by the TRS leadership.
