The Tollywood actress turned politician Vijayashanti formed Talli Telangana Party will merge with the Telangana Rashtra Samiti on January 30.The announcement was made by Talli Telangana president Vijayashanti and TRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao after a luncheon meet at her residence here on Friday.
The actor invited Chandrasekhar Rao for lunch. “I decided to merge my party with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi to avoid splitting of votes. I felt that all parties fighting for separate Telangana should come on one platform to achieve the goal,” Vijayashanti said. Sources in the TRS said Vijayashanti would get a key post and a separate office in the Telangana Bhavan. She may be appointed as the party general secretary or mahila wing chief. “She was offered a prominent post,” a party leader disclosed.
Vijayashanti, who launched Talli Telangana four years ago, said the formalities of the merger would be completed on January 30. “I also invited Devender Goud, but he did not respond. He subsequently joined the Praja Rajyam Party. I have no ego problems.” Welcoming Vijayashanti into the party fold, Chandrasekhar Rao said the merger would further strengthen the party and the Telangana movement. “When I met her three months back, I proposed the merger. I said it will be easier if all pro-Telangana parties come on one platform and take up the movement,” Chandrasekhar Rao said. “She readily agreed to the proposal,” he added. Chandrasekhar Rao said he was striving for a separate Telangana without bloodshed.“I want to achieve Telangana politically. Violence has no place in Telangana movement,” he remarked.
