Congress opposes pact with Chandrababu!
Though down and almost out, the Congress does not want any truck with the TDP. Several Andhra Congress leaders are arguing that a Chandrababu shouldn’t be trusted and that the alliance would do no good for the party. Several leaders have already sent reports to Delhi and specifically argued that Congress would stand to lose by aligning with Chandrababu Naidu.
They point out that the Congress would suffer heavily if aligns with the TDP in either Andhra or Telangana. There would be no benefit whatsoever for the party, they argue. They feel that if the Congress goes alone to the polls, it might recover some day of the other. But, if it joins hands with Chandrababu, it will only lose heavily, they said. These leaders have sent reports to this effect to the High Command.
Even in Telangana, there is opposition to the alliance. Some have gone open and said there should be no pact with the TDP. Some leaders, however, feel the pack might benefit both. The buzz is that the poll alliance has been worked out by Rahul and Chandrababu themselves.
