If there is a common thread in campaign theme of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) and the BJP in the December seven Assembly polls, it's certainly their unsparing attack on the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu.
The pre-poll pact of TDP, the ruling party of the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, and the Congress for election to the 119-member Telangana house, has also come under fire by the TRS and BJP, which have repeatedly dubbed it "unholy."
Congress and TDP leaders strongly counter their arguments, saying they joined forces to fight the "divisive and destructive politics" of the BJP and end the "misrule" of the TRS government, which let all sections of people down with its "false promises."
On TRS-BJP allegation that Naidu would 'control' Telangana affairs if Congress-TDP alliance comes to power, Dinakar dismissed it as 'inconceivable.'
"It's a compulsion and need of the hour. It's to fight divisive and destructive politics (of the BJP)."
