Taking cue from a Saakshi TV9 news item on 'Who is going to be No.2 in Telangana cabinet?' I wanted to forth my view on this matter. There are array of thought processes in this regard. It is an important issue considering the fact that the TRS Foundation Day is around the corner.
During last year's plenary, it was discussed and deliberated on elivating  KTR  as party's vice-President or Secretary-General, but since nothing of that sort happened. This time again there is a speculation that he would be made party's Working President.
I have  a  feeling that he deserves to be elevated and KCR being a very shrewd politician, should not do the mistake made by Sonia Gandhi, abnormally delaying the elevation Rahul to the post of Vice President, and  now even for the President. But my personal feeling is KTR should immediately be elevated as working President  of TRS, without any further delay, for obvious reasons.
 A correspondent asked KTR at Armoor rally whether there was any elevation contemplated this time, for which, he said, that he really doesn't know, and if we see the style of functioning of KCR , certainly such issues of sensitive nature, neither he would discuss nor share with any one.
His elevation is important as KTR is very important man both in party as well as government, and it is widely accepted fact. He is has to learn the ropes of business in politics.  I observe him in both print and electronic media he seems to be a tough task master. KCR entrusted him both Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections, and Khammam Municipal Corporation elections last year, where the party's position at that point of time was very weak, but having been given the task, he had proved his mettle and by winning both corporations. The fact of the matter is if he failed in even in either election, like Rahul in various polls. KTR would have taken the bullet if the TRS failed to get the corporations. I'm of the opinion that if someone is blamed for the defeats then his successes  should be equally rewarded. Moreover what we hear, that there seems to be a communication gap between, KCR and Ministers and legislators and with his elevation this problem could be addressed too.
