While the TDP leaders are leaving no stone unturned in their bid to entice the disgruntled Congress leaders and coaxing them to join the ruling party with assurances to suitably accommodate them in the Government or the party, the Congress leaders have begun efforts to persuade them to continue to sail with them, according to political sources.

The TDP is said to have offered a package for the peeved Congress leaders to rope them in as a batch by suggesting alternatives to field them either for the Assembly or the Parliament.
