Merger sword against KCR’s neck?
It is an accepted wisdom that you should not drop all your trump cards before achieving your goal. This is where KCR has failed miserably. Even before there was any movement whole heartedly regarding Telangana, KCR dropped his gun and announced the merger proposal.
After Congress started playing mischief and deafening silence from 2011, KCR had to move heaven and earth that it is only a one off proposal but not the final word and has been trying with utmost difficulty to get a separate identity for TRS in Telangana as a political party.
