Is DS bidding goodbye to Congress?

Is the Congress Party’s most trusted leader and Gandhi family acolyte D Srinivas all set to leave the party and join the TRS?

In what could be a major political quake for the Congress in Telangana,

DS, who has been sulking over denial of MLC ticket to him, is also peeved at being slighted in the party. He has been consistently refusing to meet senior Congress leader and state party affairs incharge Digvijay Singh. He has not just refused to meet him, he had even refused to take his phone calls. He has been blaming Digvijay Singh for the denial of MLC nomination.

DS, who has always maintained a cordial relationship with KCR, has met senior TRS leader and former Congressman K Keshava Rao on Tuesday. He reportedly discussed his entry into the TRS. The TRS is reported to have assured him to nominate him as an MLC.
