Suspended Telangana Rashtra Samiti MP A Narendra is likely to spring a surprise during the trust vote on July 22. Narendra, who represents Medak Lok Sabha constituency, has already announced that he would support the government only if the UPA leadership takes a decision in favour of Telangana state. But the threat of a whip by TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao may influence his decision. Sources said since TRS was planning to embarrass him by issuing a whip, he is likely to violate it and vote for the UPA.
“The threat of a whip for the UPA trust vote is meaningless. I am not a TRS member. A whip issued by the TRS leadership is not binding upon me,” Narendra told TOI. He said there were several reasons for the whip not applying to him but said he would disclose them later.
Meanwhile, Chandrasekhar Rao is planning to form an umbrella group of the parties demanding separate states. Rao is leaving for New Delhi on Friday. He has already been invited by Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Ajit Singh to take a collective decision on the trust vote. Later, he will meet UP chief minister and BSP leader Mayawati in a separate meeting.
