TDP may field third candidate for Rajya Sabha

Trying  to capitalize  on the internal squabbling in the ruling Congress in the State, Telugu Desam  Party  seems to be toying with the idea of fielding a third candidate in the ensuing Rajya Sabha elections.

With  such a  piquant situation prevailing in the ruling Congress, the Tdp supremo,  Chandrababu Naidu seemed to be weighing the pros and cons of fielding a powerful third candidate. Pinning his hopes on  cross-voting, the Tdp   chief will be fielding the  third candidate.

The Tdp  chief is targeting Jagan’s  group and some of the dissidents of  Praja Rajyam Party. If his calculations go right  then he  may be  able  to wrest a  third seat.

Cashing  in on the  situation,  the PRP  announced that  it would  join the fray  in fielding  its  candidate.  To make sure that all its four candidates  make it to Rajya Sabha, Congress  is seeking the  support of PRP in this regard.
