​Hyderabad: TDP Telangana unit gets a free hand to decide about its allies during the next elections. The State unit is also likely to hold a separate Mahanadu this year.

According to party sources, this decision was taken by the Party President and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu at a recent meeting with the TDP Telangana unit leaders. Naidu made it clear that it was for the State unit leaders to devise their own strategies to revive the party in the State and prepare it for the next elections.

He felt that holding a separate Mahanadu from May 27 to 29 in Telangana would create greater confidence among the cadre. During the last two years TDP Mahanadu was held at Tirupati and Guntur leaving the Telangana leaders unhappy.

Following this Naidu agreed to permit the State unit to organise Mahanadu in Telangana. This Mahanadu will discuss in detail the strength and weakness of the party in Telangana and would work on strategies in consultation with all leaders.

With the 2019 elections just two years away, the party is planning to take some crucial decisions including the electoral alliances. It is now clear that the TDP will not have an alliance with BJP, but in more inclined to have a grand alliance with Congress and Left parties. The issue is likely to be discussed at the Mahanadu.

According to party working President A Revanth Reddy, TDP is no averse to have an alliance with Congress since now it is an opposition party. TDP had been fighting the Congress party when it was in power. Now the TRS is in power and hence the fight will now be against the pink party and to defeat it, the TDP would not mind joining hands with all likeminded parties, he added.
