Sayanna, Talasani, Teegela to leave TDP?

Outflux continues from the beleaguered Telugu Desam in Telangana. Monday dawn brought bad news for the TDP supremo as party's strongman and mass leader from Hyderabad Talasani Srinivas Yadav had a morning meeting with chief minister KCR. The meeting came amid reports that Talasani is all set to quit the party for TRS.

There are more waiting in line to desert the sinking ship that the TDP is in Telangana as of now. Let's have a look at the names that are circulating.

Talasani Srinivas Rao: Talasani has for long been sulking. He has been on a blow-hot-blow-cold mode for the past seven years. He had even tried to join the Congress Party during YSR regime. Now, if Talasani is gone, the TDP would become rudderless in Secunderabad constituency and the influential Yadava leader would yank off a significant section of TDP's vote base. He is likeli to join TRS on Dasara day.

Teegala Krishna Reddy: Remember the stick-wielding, street-dancing mustached leader who was for sometime the mayor of Hyderabad? Teegala, a loyal TDP man for decades, too is planning to move out of the TDP. His destination? Of course the TRS. He has considerable influence in Dilsukhnagar, LB Nagar and Maheswaram.

Sayanna: Sayanna is a four-time MLA from Contonment constituency. A diehard TDP man, he too seems to feel taht there is no future left in the TDP in Telangana. He too may join the TRS.
Errabelli Dayakar Rao: Though Errabelli has hotly denied that he is not leaving TDP despite his differences with Revanth Reddy, those in the know feel that it is only a matter of time for the 'deal' to get fixed and he could very well jump.

If this trend continues, TDP's fate could become what Lalu's RJD's in Jharkhand. A potent political force once, the RJD became an also ran in no time after Bihar was devided.
