HYDERABAD: TPCC chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy, who already accepted the challenge thrown by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao asking the Congress Party to face early polls, has said his party is likely to forge alliance with all like-minded parties including TDP in the State to dethrone the CM KCR in the next Assembly polls.
“Alliance with any of opposition parties in the State like Left, Kodandaram’s TJS and even TDP can’t be ruled out. This proposal was already put before the AICC president Rahul Gandhi. He has to take a decision on it,” Uttam disclosed while interacting with the Editorial Team of the Express here on Wednesday.
“As of now, we have good working relationship with all opposition parties except BJP. We are in good terms with TDP too. Hence, there is every possibility of we joining hands with like-minded parties to defeat the ruling TRS in the ensuing polls. But, the final decision is in the hands of Rahul Gandhi,” he informed.
According to Uttam, his party was planning to give tickets to prominent Seemandhra leaders in Hyderabad to woo Andhras, who made the city their home in the ensuing polls. “Lakhs of Andhras who settled in Hyderabad and numerically strong Muslims will decide the electoral fortunes of any political party in the constituencies that fall under the GHMC. Hence, we are working on a strategy to field some prominent Andhra politicos in some segments in the State.
