KCR's twin agenda: 'Cong-mukt' Telangana & conquest of 16 LS seats

TRS has launched ‘Operation Akarsh’ to woo Congress MLAs into TRS fold. “Congress needs at least 12 MLAs to get the main opposition status in the 119-member assembly and in the event of TRS managing to cart away eight of its legislators, it would be successful in depriving the grand old party of opposition status,” a TRS leader said.
