In recent times, KCR and Harish Rao have openly praised one another at public events to try and dispel the growing speculation that all is not well between them.
At a function in Siddipet, while KCR referred to Harish Rao as a ‘pearl’, Harish Rao also reciprocated in a like fashion.
Harish Rao is the nephew of KCR and is considered the most capable person in the TRS government!
In fact, many look upon him as the trouble- shooter in the Party and KCR reportedly depends on Harish Rao a lot.
On the other hand is KTR, son of KCR who is clearly not in the same league as KCR and who is obviously the prince-in-waiting.
Understandably, any competent person would smart under a leadership that sidelines him and this seems to be the case in the TRS Party.
Further importance to Harish Rao in the Party could severely pose a threat to the fortunes of KTR.
And yet, the Party cannot do without Harish Rao. KCR is having a tough time in doing the balancing act and hence this public praise of one another.
In fact it is widely believed that when YSR was the CM and had effectively curbed KCR & Co, just a few days prior to YSR’s death, Harish Rao had met the latter with the intention of joining the Congress.
