Opposition parties eye alliance to take on TRS in Telangana

The CPI, TDP and Telangana Jana Samithi will enter into a pre-poll alliance in Telangana and would like to have the CPI(M) and Congress on board in the anti-TRS front, a senior CPI leader said Monday.

"We want first Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Communist Party of India (CPI) and Telangana Jana Samithi...we will join together, and we will invite the CPI-M also. And if there is a possibility, we would like to go with the Congress," CPI National General Secretary Suravaram Sudhakar Reddy told PTI.

Asked if such a pre-poll alliance was certain, the veteran Communist leader said, "Yes".

On whether there were any "feelers" from the Congress on joining the alliance, Reddy said, "Not yet".

Chief spokesperson of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Sravan Dasoju said an electoral alliance with the TDP was "possible".
