Sangareddy: With the demand for B-forms for his cadre turned down by senior TRS leader A. Narendra the dissident Sangareddy MLA T. Jayaprakash Reddy has decided to surrender his entire cadre to the Congress on May 13.

Before making a formal announcement on Tuesday he organised a constituency level party workers meet at a farm near Kandi. With majority of his followers and TJR Yuva Sena, the youth wing, accepting his proposal TJR announced his decision. However, he resisted from announcing his intention to join the Congress following the request of his cadre who do not want a re-election at this juncture.

Later, addressing the press, TJR said he had no alternative but to hand over his cadre to the Congress as the parent organisation had denied them tickets for the coming Panchayat elections. "Anyway KCR would announce alliance with Congress. In that case it would be very difficult to hold the cadre together," he told reporters.

Telangana not now

Terming the efforts of KCR for Telanagana in just one month futile, he opined that both the Congress and the BJP would carve the State only on their terms and not when and where KCR wanted it. He called upon both KCR and Narendra to save the party cadre by bringing in a development package for Telangana instead of playing political games in Delhi.

TJR said the Chief Minister had been very cooperative with him and approved more than 50 per cent of the demands he had put forward during his Telangana Abhivrudhi Padayatra to Hyderabad.
