TRS rules out merger with Congress

The Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) has ruled out its merger with Congress ahead of the upcoming general elections.

However, the TRS has decided to form a committee of senior leaders headed by Keshav Rao to look into the issue of alliances.

This was disclosed by the Party President K Chandrashekhar Rao here last night after a day-long meeting of the General Body of the party.

"Our party has unanimously decided not to merge with Congress party. There is a committee in the chairmanship of K Keshav Rao, the secretary general of the party, who looks into alliances, if any," said Rao.

The development came a week after the TRS president met Congress president Sonia Gandhi in the national capital about a possible merger or alliance between the two.
