Hyderabad, Jan. 2: Differences erupted within the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (N) over joining a coalition headed by the Bahujan Samaj Party soon after party chief and MP, Mr A. Narendra, announced the tie-up here on Wednesday.
Immediately after Mr Narendra made the announcement at a TRS(N) workers meeting here, other party leaders objected loudly, arguing that the BSP does not have a base in the state.
TRS(N) general secretary, Mr K. Dayanand, reportedly walked out of the meeting along with his followers in protest against the proposed merger with the BSP.
Mr Narendra had stated at a press conference that the TRS(N) would join the BSP on January 6, when the BSP president and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Ms Mayawati, will be in the city for the Bahujan Maha Sammelan public meeting. He said the party executive had unanimously adopted a resolution to merge the TRS(N) with the BSP.
He admitted that the BSP has no strong base in state, but said it would gain momentum here as it represents Dalits, minorities and upper castes.
