D. Srinivas to return to Congress

The Hindu  

Telangana Rashtra Samithi member of Rajya Sabha D. Srinivas will join the Congress soon but the date and venue are not yet confirmed. Negative impact Mr. Srinivas’s relations with KCR were negatively impacted ever since his son Dharmapuri Aravind defeated Kalvakuntla Kavita in Nizamabad in 2019 Lok Sabha elections. If a tall leader with a considerable following in Nizamabad district joins TRS, KCR thought, it would hit the Congress morale and leave the political space open for Kavita for a long time to come. Another senior leader, seeking anonymity, said they have informed the party leadership in New Delhi that even if he is admitted into the party, Mr. Srinivas should not have any role in ticket selection in combined Nizamabad district in the next elections. “He is joining the Congress to give political life to his elder son Dharmapuri Sanjay, a former Mayor of Nizamabad, who is lying low ever since his father was sidelined in the TRS.”
