Hyderabad, April 27: TRS will never merge with any other party and will continue as the “sole voice” of Telangana people even if statehood is granted to the region, party chief K Chandrasekhar Rao said today.
“TRS will retain its identity and existence under any circumstances. It will never merge with any other party,” he told a gathering at the party headquarters here.
His remarks assume significance in the wake of comments by TDP leaders that Rao would merge TRS with the Congress in return for formation of a separate Telangana.
The TDP leaders cited Rao’s comments in an interview that his party would take a collective decision about the question of merger with the Congress if such a situation arose.
