It looks like the Communist Party of India (CPI) leaders are planning to cash in on the demand for their party votes in the ensuing by-elections to Huzurnagar assembly seat, which were necessitated with the resignation of Pradesh Congress Committee president N Uttam Kumar Reddy on his election to Lok Sabha in May this year.
With a multi-cornered contest in the offing following the decision of the Telugu Desam Party and CPI (M) to enter the fray, every vote has become crucial in Huzurnagar by-elections.
Particularly, the CPI being strong in the area, its votes have become very important for the major contenders.
Realising that the contest is going to become tough, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders led by TRS secretary-general and Rajya Sabha member, Dr K Kesava Rao, Lok Sabha member Nama Nageswara Rao and state Planning Commission vice-chairman B. Vinod Kumar met CPI state secretary Chada Venkat Reddy at Makhdoom Bhavan in Himayathnagar on Sunday.
Till the other day, TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao was accusing the CPI of an insignificant party that has no existence.
Now, he sent party leaders to request the CPI leaders to forget the past and help the TRS win the Huzurnagar seat. It is not exactly known what the ruling party has offered to the CPI.
Meanwhile, on Monday, the Congress leaders met CPI leaders and sought their support in Huzurnagar by-poll. The Congress leaders urged the CPI to support Congress candidate Padmavathi.
“if the CPI does not want to support the Congress, they should at least remain neutral,” the Congress leaders said.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said the fear of imminent defeat in Huzurnagar Assembly by-election has forced TRS leaders to visit Makhdoom Bhavan to seek the CPI support.
He appealed to the CPI leaders not to support the TRS and instead support the Congress candidate, Padmavathi Reddy, to teach a fitting lesson to anti-people TRS government.
