HYDERABAD: Unsure of loyalty of their prospective MLAs as inducements would be too tempting, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) and Praja Rajyam party (PRP) have strated protecting their flocks from poaching by the formations that require support from smaller parties to form Government in the State.
The TRS is using its own office to `detain’ its prospective MLAs. Already several of them have moved into the rooms on the first floor of the building with bag and baggage and they will reamin there till such time the party leadership decides what its gameplan is. The rooms have airconditioning facility, television sets and comfortable beds.
They were served Talnagana dinner tonight and from tomorrow various delicacies prepared by a Telangana chef would be served to them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
A lot of effort has gone into making the rooms as comfortable as possible for the TRS MLAs.
Even party president K Chandrasekhar Rao personally went around and ensure that arrangemetns are complete to the last detail.
Though Chandrasekhar Rao arrived in Hyderabad from Delhi later in the evening, prospective MLAs had already moved into the rooms and began whiling away time, debating among themselves how they would be faring in the elections.
While this is so, the Praja Rajyam Party has booked a resort in Shameerpet which has an accommodation for 120 and about 50 candidates who have bright chances of winning the elections have moved into them. The camp which might run for four days would provide everything the `hostages’ require.
Chiranjeevi and Allu Aravind would stay put there to protect them from poachers.
The newly-elected MLAs will be asked to elect Chiranjeevi as the Praja Rajyam Legislature Party leader tomorrow evening.
The party is expecting to play a decisive role in the next Assembly as it is expecting to win about 50 to 60 seats and other parties not crossing the magic figure to form the next Government.
