Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has sent ripples across the already turbulent waters of the State politics by alleging that his political opponents from the Telugu Desam Party, the Congress and others had hatched a deep conspiracy soon after the formation of Telangana State to stop him from becoming the Chief Minister. “But the MIM helped me in foiling it”, he said.
The conspiracy was to get President’s Rule imposed in the State by splitting the TRS, he said, adding that he could foil the conspiracy only because of timely help from the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi.
Addressing a party meeting on the occasion of Congress MP Gutta Sukhinder Reddy and others joining the TRS, KCR said that he was revealing it for the first time after two years.
“Despite the fact that the TRS had won 63 seats in the 119 member State Assembly and lost another 14 seats by just 500 to 1,000 votes, a conspiracy was hatched to stop me from taking oath as the Chief Minister and impose President’s Rule. But the MIM stood by me”, he said.
He named TDP and the Congress as the conspirators and said that first Asaduddin Owaisi telephoned him to warn him and then met him personally to reveal the details of the conspiracy which was hatched in Delhi.
“Not only did he alert me but the next day he convened a meeting of his party’s MlAs and passed a resolution to support the TRS Government unconditionally”, he said.
He recalled before he took oath as CM, AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had said that Telangana and AP will rejoin like Berlin city after the fall of the wall.
Even the Telangana Congress Working president Bhatti Vikramarka also said TRS Government in the State will fall.
