It is more or less a certainty that the stage has been set for D Srinivas’ exit from the TRS. In all fairness to the TRS, they did reward DS with a Rajya Sabha berth and nothing more can be expected from a regional party.
Even when he was in the Congress, DS was treated well and made PCC President also. So, all of a sudden, it seems to be a bit of a mystery as to why the TRS is miffed with DS.
According to the TRS, Arvind, the son of DS had joined the BJP and DS did nothing about it. Further, he was meeting industrialists and key people and asking them to support his son apart from organizing meetings of his community and asking them to support his son, which did not go down well with the TRS people.
After this public humiliation, there is no way DS can stay back in the TRS. Interestingly though, even the Congress has not welcomed the development.
All that PCC Chief Uttam Kumar Reddy said was he had no information from High Command about DS coming back to the Congress. Otherwise, it would have been a great opportunity to belittle the TRS and the way they had treated DS.
But, even if DS does come back to the Congress, he will not command the respect and prestige he had earlier.
One theory says DS was a Congress covert in the TRS and KCR finally realised this. Another says that Kavitha was worried about DS calling the shots in Nizamabad and went complaining to her daddy.
Whatever be the truth, fact of the matter is that as of now, DS is neither here nor there. But he isn’t the sort of politician to worry about it too much, is he?
