According to sources, the joint rally, the first election meeting in which the leadership of both parties will share the dais, is likely to be held in Hyderabad in the last week of November.

The Congress, TDP, Telangana Jana Samithi and the CPI have joined hands to form a ‘grand alliance’ for the December 7 Assembly elections in Telangana. While the Congress, the main opposition in the state, is contesting on the majority of seats, the TDP will field candidates in 14 seats, the TJS in eight and CPI in three. The counting of votes for the 199-seat Assembly will be held on December 11.

However, in a jolt to the nascent alliance, the TJS Vice-President PL Vishweshwar Rao told reporters that the party would contest 12 seats. Stating that TJS is contesting only in those constituencies where it is strong, Rao said discussion could continue on seat sharing.

Alleging a tacit understanding between K Chandrashekar Rao’s TRS and the BJP, the Congress has accused the CM of going back on his promise to make a Scheduled Caste leader as Chief Minister after formation of a separate Telangana.
