LS polls:Cong yet to decide on tie-up with TDP in Telangana

The Congress is yet to take a call on whether to join hands with the TDP in Telangana for the coming Lok Sabha elections or fight alone, a key party functionary said Wednesday.

Senior Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee leaders, along with newly-elected MLAs, met the party President Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi Tuesday and discussed with him reasons for the outfit's defeat in the December 7 Telangana Assembly polls.

"Rahul discussed the performance of the party in Assembly election and how to work unitedly to get more Lok Sabha seats in Telangana," AICC in-charge of Telangana, R C Khuntia told PTI.

On whether the Congress would have an alliance with TDP, the CPI and TJS for the Lok Sabha elections due by May, like it did in the Assembly poll, or go it alone, he said: "That has not been decided."
