"Tremendous pressure to expel Narendra from TRS"

N. Rahul

HYDERABAD: The emigration racket centring around Members of Parliament across States triggered a major political crisis in the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) too with several of its leaders facing accusations about their involvement.

In particular, these accusations have widened the already existing gulf between TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao and his lieutenant A. Narendra who has been accused by his own partymen of misusing his position when he was Union Minister.

Several TRS leaders also made a beeline to TV studios to issue denials about their involvement.
